    They set the limit by watching people drive on a road without limits in place and setting it to 80% of the average. It’s by design that people go over.

      I’m not sure that’s the case for all roads.

      There is explicit policy in some cases to set speed limits lower than actually necessary in order for the ‘slow’ drivers to keep otherwise ne’er do wells in check.
