Speed limits go up to 130 (80mph) in Australia so seems like they think it's OK.
130 is extremely rare. even 110 is very rare tbh (interstate type roads, and they can often be 100 too)… 80 is our common “fast” speed in metro areas
In Western Australia generally its 110 between towns/cities (most common 'country driving' speed), 100 for freeways in the city, 70 for most roads between suburbs and 50 for residential or built up areas.
In Canada there is only one highway that I know of which allows up to 120km/h, the rest is 100km/h.
The only speeding ticket I have ever gotten in my life was going 130km/h on the 120km/hr highway.
Most of the 402 and recently parts of the 403 have been changed to 110km/h in Ontario. These are long stretches with no cities nearby.
Yeah, but those highways have like 5 cars and 10 trucks per hour (if that) and none of them are within 1000km from 99% of the population. Slight hyperbole, but they are genuinely only in the deep rural areas. 260k people in 1.4m square kilometres. Every where else top speed is 110, which is between city highways in good condition for the most part.
