You didn't tell us which State you're talking about. It varies from State to State. In Illinois, the "Interstate" limit is 55mph. However, in inclement weather, one is expected to reduce speed to accommodate such.
In Illinois, for example, you would never get a ticket for reducing your speed, say, to 45mph to address severe weather.
Also, are we talking about "Interstates", "County roads", "City roads", etc ??
It varies. However, it is always safer to reduce speed if hazardous conditions call for it. You'll never be ticketed for it, if, in the opinion of any law enforcement agent, you are acting with due discretion. And they would always respect that.
Drive safely.

What else can I help you with?
The speed limit in 55 when the road is wet you should drive 5 to 10 mph under the speed limit true or false?
true
How much slower than the speed limit should you drive on a wet roadway?
When driving on a wet roadway, it's generally advisable to reduce your speed by about 10 to 15 mph below the posted speed limit. This helps maintain better traction and control, as wet conditions can increase stopping distances and the risk of hydroplaning. Always adjust your speed according to the severity of the weather and road conditions.
What should you do driving on a wet road?
Slow down from your normal speed. Be prepared to stop safely in emergencies.
What speeds can you operate a jeep Cherokee in full time four wheel drive on wet road with snow and slush?
On a wet road with snow and slush, you should not be traveling more than 50 mph. It will work fine at that speed.
Which has less friction a dry road or a wet road?
A wet road has less friction since the water acts as a lubricant.
How much do wet roads reduce road traction?
Quite a bit especially if your tires are worn down to or below the tread depth limit.
What would happen if you were driving on a wet road?
Your vehicle will not grip the road as under normal conditions. You must reduce the speed, increase the safety distance from other vehicles and reduce the torque on your wheels by driving in the highest gear possible for your speed.
To slide on a wet road surface?
When driving on a wet road surface, it's important to reduce your speed and avoid sudden movements such as braking or accelerating abruptly. Drive in the tracks of the car ahead to avoid hydroplaning, and maintain a safe following distance. In the event of a slide, steer gently in the direction you want to go without overcorrecting.
Which has less friction a dry road or wet road?
A dry road typically has less friction than a wet road. Water on the road surface can reduce tire grip, leading to an increase in friction and longer stopping distances. The lower friction on wet roads can increase the risk of skidding and losing control of the vehicle.
Doing the speed limit in a heavy rain is safe?
Driving at the speed limit in heavy rain may not always be safe, as wet roads can reduce traction and increase stopping distances. It's important to adjust your speed and maintain a safe following distance to account for the decreased visibility and handling. Consider slowing down to ensure you can react to unexpected hazards.
What happens when a car stopping distance when a road gets wet?
Less traction on a wet road so the stopping distance increases.
Why is braking less effective on a wet road than on a dry road?
Two reasons. The wet road has a lower coefficient of friction that the dry one. It is more slippery. The same goes for the brakes. If they are wet, they will be less effective because of the same reason. A higher amount of friction wastes more energy, in this case momentum, causing a loss of speed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction
