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)

First of all there's no reason to compare this city's roadways to others. you have to factor in the lane width, blind corners and hills etc.
secondly if you look at roads that are over 70km/h there are barriers or island seperating traffic. eg: marine dr east of boundary. Marine dr just outside UBC. etc. yes people can go 80km/h but the bridge wasn't design or engineered for people to be travelling that fast. It is not reasonable speed and hence what happened on wednesday night. The city doesn't just randomly put up speed signs with 50km/h on it because they ran out of 80km/h ones. They spend hundreds and thousands of dollars to calculate what's a safe speed.
School zones are 30km.h and they are straight roads. why don't u go speed thru at 60km cuz to me it seems like u think it sounds reasonable right?
