Welcome!
You have likely found yourself here via the summary of an edit in which the redundant term 'rate of speed' was corrected.
To explain: speed is a rate - specifically the rate at which something changes location in a given unit of time (how fast something is going). Thus 'high speed' is sufficient in the way we say 'speed of light' rather than 'rate of speed of light'. (The exception would be in discussions of types of rates.)
The term is typically found in articles and news reports involving moving vehicles. I correct them when I find them unless they are in a quote.
speed = distance/time
