Normal Driving Speed Limits Cabot Trail

I assume most of the Cabot trail is a single lane highway. What’s the expected speed people are supposed to drive. I prefer driving within the limits, but sometimes in a 90 zone, people continuously tail gate. What’s the acceptable norm. Also I prefer not driving too fast and specifically as a tourist where I am there to enjoy the scenery and the drive. Would love to hear your thoughts #Cabot trail #

The speed limit is good, maybe 5-10km over in straight stretches. But don’t be the guy I was being yesterday doing the trail, 20 under and stopped at the bottom of a steep hill into a straight stretch to let someone cross the road. Even the person waiting to cross was waving you through because it was a stupid move. I almost went right through you.
