You can't design a road for "no speed limit whatsoever". Britain's

Like hell. A lot were designed in the 1930s through the 1950s with the
speeds of cars of the era in mind, but with the very light traffic
loadings. The slip roads are scarily short, and the entry and exit
roads have very tight curves. When they're flowing at speed getting on
to some of the older ones without a fairly high-powered and
decent-handling car can be entertaining, and in the wet they are
especially fun.
