There isn't a speed limit with the Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier # RR576F that you referenced. Going highway speeds would not be an issue. The front of your vehicle as well as the windshield directs most of the high winds high enough over the top of your vehicle roof so rods carried in a carrier like this wouldn't be getting subjected to as high of winds as you might think.

I attached a picture that shows reels not hitting the roof of a vehicle that are being carried in the Rhino-Rack Ski and Fishing Rod Carrier #RR572. Unless you had a really low profile set of crossbars you wouldn't have any issue at all.
