Many highways in the US are at 80 MPH (~129K) and it has no meaningful impact on the safety of the road while the majority of people on those roads drive +/-135KPH. 100 or 110 is just a number we set to make it look like we are setting safety limits, with no consideration what so ever for what an effective speed would actually be.
