It's a statement of engineering priorities, not an literal goal.
This is in contrast to the United States, where only very recently has anything other than maximum automotive throughput been prioritized.
- spdustin 12y agoI wouldn't say that throughput is the priority. The typical speed limits on interstates were optimal for fuel efficiency. Convenience highways are revenue generating through the use of automatic toll collection, but in my experience, only have higher speed limits when they have more limited access (read: fewer exits/on-ramps).
