Re: Let the motorist decide the speed limits
I think that is a great idea. 140km/h is a great cruising speed. Enough of an increase to take a big chunk out of your travel time, and not stupidly fast.
Only have to watch out for the rolling road blocks that learners create traveling at 80.

Re: Let the motorist decide the speed limits
Your right, great idea on the open highway but I'm happy with the 40-50k/h in suburban streets and I think most motorists would be.
Some 70 zones that should be 80, with some 80s that should be 90.
140 on a dual lane highway with the learners sitting in the left lane wouldn't be a problem either

I'm in total agreement with Gus.
It would be nice if the limit was put up to 120 on divided highways tho!
I think 100 - 140 would cause a huge amount of caos for a multitude of the people out there that call themselves "drivers". I think 120 would be way too scarey for a lot of those afore mentioned "drivers"!

Remember: Every K that they increase the limit means less revenue, I mean fines, for the states.
