In Europe, I hear some roads do a adaptive speed limit system based on the road conditions. That needs to be done here. At 3am, doing 130 on deerfoot is not endangering anyone. At 3pm? Absolutely you are.
Going under the speed limit is absolutely worse than speeding. If you're doing 80 on deerfoot, you are endangering many many more people than the guy that's doing 120. For the guy doing 120, he's only endangering himself. For you that's doing 80, every single person that comes up behind you must make a pass and endangering themselves due to the speed difference of the cars in your lane and the cars in the other lanes.
