For what it's worth, RET (Rapid Exit Taxiways) at larger airports have a design speed (i.e. the maximum speed in which one can turn into them) of 50 knots in the wet.
There wouldn’t only be skid marks on the runway if someone tried that with me.

The nose-wheels losing traction at moderate speed is a thoroughly unpleasant experience.
