I found an example of where this information would be useful.

Dirt/unpaved roads are generally 100km/hr max speed. However this isn't usually the best speed to be traveling on them, but getting the "average" speed everyone does and being able to give approximation warnings of sharp bends that may or may not be signed properly by the local council due to it usually being general knowledge for people that travel on those roads.
