The wide streets of Calgary residential actually make speed limits more important. Narrow streets naturally limit speed whereas Calgary’s wide roads make roads feel safer therefore higher speeds naturally feel more comfortable. The visibility of pedestrians isn’t improved on a wide road from a narrow one and the presence of parked cars on both sides makes visibility worse.

The comparison to Europe was a response to Lockes question of what does the rest of the world do. In general world wide there is a push to lower speed limits. Things like Vision Zero throughout the US.
