I think the big point that seems to be missed is that this is intended to make the Sign "speed limit" mean exactly that. The studies presented indicate that only 15% of drivers should actually get up to this speed. Currently it seems that 85% of drivers can get up the the limit with no problem.
Also, focus should be on the highway not the cities. 50km/h on narrow street is fast enough. Raising the limit on the QE2 to 120km/h is not the same as saying we should raise playground zones to 120km/h.
