There's two reasons; which both go back to driver training. First is people see the sign when they start to exit that says "Ramp speed 60 km/h." Because of a lack of training, they think if they exceed 60 prior to seeing a 100 sign on Deerfoot; that they are speeding and could get a ticket. The second factor is that so many people are so set in getting where they are going; is they do not realize that their one action can cause 20 people to slow down. Then 2 out of those 20 do something else that causes another 40 to slow down, then 4 out of 40, then eventually you have gridlock.
