   Every once in a while, we go journeying through parts of the U.S.
which have 55 mph speed limits.  Compared to that, we're lucky.

   Seriously, we ignore them to a large degree.  Typical traffic
speed around here (Toronto area) is 110-125 km/h, conditions
permitting.

   I have no idea if any serious effort has been made to lobby
politicians to change it.
