Not the best source but this article does have some info on speed and fatal accidents.
The Ontario Provincial Police reported 568 fatal crashes in 2023, and speed was a factor in 131 (21.3%) of them. In other words, more than one in every five deadly car accidents involved drivers going too fast.
This. Higher speeds in isolation mean nothing if the design of the streets keep drivers equally safe at those higher speeds.
I mean, it’s usually Germany and other neighbours in Europe that put such forethought intentionally into the designs of roads (look up the YouTube channel Not Just Bikes for more info), but we occasionally have strange confluences over here, too
I would have to see crash and accident data concurrent with the change before I say anything.

One thing Germany has is a lot more variety in speed limits.
Within a minute you can go from 100 to 150 to no speed limit to 50. But good luck convincing people to put a 50 zone on the 401.
