50 km/h = 31 mph
Speed limit in built-up areas in most countries of Europe (Poland - 60 km/h, UK - 48 km/h)
90 km/h = 56 mph
Speed limit outside built-up areas in most countries of EU (European Union)

Speed of sound travel
The speed of sound depends on the properties of the medium through which it travels. In dry air at 59°F (15°C) at the sea level it is equal to 1 Ma (Mach 1 = 1225km/h = 761mph)
Earth Escape Velocity
Escape Velocity is the speed needed to "break free" from a gravitational field of the object (Earth, Sun etc.). The speed needed to leave gravitational field of the Earth is about 11.19 km/s = 25031 mph
Speed Of Light Travel
The speed of light depends on the properties of the medium through which it travels. For example, speed of light in water equals about 3/4 of c. The speed of the light in perfect vacuum equals c = 299,792,458 m/s = 670,616,629 mph

mph vs. kph (km/h) Example
If your speed or velocity is given in miles per hour (mph) and you want to translate it into kilometers per hour (km/h) type your mph value into edit box labeled 'miles per hour'. Convertion will start automatically as you type, translated value in km/h will be displayed in the edit box labeled 'Kilometers per hour'. On the other hand, km/h to mph conversion starts when you type value of km/h in the edit box labeled 'kilometers per hour'.
