true and its hard not to drive fast.
There are no lights for many miles and the roads are nice and smooth and straight.

Meh, we could use some higher speed limits.... Darwin will handle the careless and inattentive drivers....
And the innocent people who are affected by those idiots?
If we had a higher speed limit - say 120, and tighter enforcement, say tickets at 10 km/hr over (it's unusual to be ticketed for less than 125 ... 25 km/hr over, and perhaps even 130), then you'd have all the traffic moving from about 120 to 130, rather than the current 100 to 135.
Surely that would be safer.
I love the 'speed kills' argument. So every accident where someone was 1 kph over the limit was a result of speeding? If you look at the province's stats that's how they count it. Yet they never get to the logical end of that line of though, set the speed limit at 60 or less everywhere, so that we have speed killing fewer people. Better yet, don't let anyone drive....
Well, you know the "adding lanes to relieve congestion" idea kind of follows Jevons Paradox...
Having lived in third-world countries, I find this statement utterly mind-boggling. Can you give some examples to support your position?Canada is a third world country when it comes to transportation infrastructure.
