Well, the point made in the video (which I agree) is that people deviate to a speed they are comfortable with, and this is the speed that is the safest to be in. If the majority of people are doing 120 on Deerfoot, then it can be argued that 120 should be the ideal speed limit, not 100. By raising it to 120, you would have more people obeying the law because they are in their safe speed zone. Traffic would also flow more smoothly as you don't have people going at different speeds and needing the brake or accelerate all the time.
