Look at Oak st bridge. It's 60km/h, but when you get on it drivers automatically speed up to 80km+. This goes for all bridges in the lowermainland. Drivers need to treat a bridge just like a regular road. Are people afraid the bridge will collapse behind them if they don't get over fast enough?

but it's not a regular road, regular roads have traffic lights and intersections, the lions gate is an extremely straight road with no stops in it, so 80km/h is a totally reasonable speed to go over it at
80km/h is only 50mph for fuck's sake - hardly high speed (consider that the rest of the world drives at 50mph on many non motorway roads)
