I'm as big an advocate of raising limits as anybody else, but you're asking for cars in the Bow River if you did that.
Stoney has absolutely nothing to do with the city... so there's that.
Design speed is 110, from what I understand, it'll be that eventually.

If I understand correctly the guy was saying people find their own safe travel level on a road, and ignore the speed limit signs. So if the limit on Deerfoot was raised to 130 his point is drivers aren't going to go faster than they already are, just that the cops can't ticket them anymore.
That section of Marine Drive he's talking about is ridiculously signed, though, I agree. I usually feel quite safe doing 75-80 through there.
