I would like to change how speed limits are set and communicated. Highways outside of cities should have high and standardized speed limits (not varying) at the 85percentile + 10% at the fastest stretch (example). This way you only need signs indicating these limits at the start of the highway, end of the highway and on entrances to the highway. I would then want them to focus more on recomended speed limit signs and use those along the highway, often, to indicate what is coming up and recomend a speed (something actually useful unlike arbitrary enforceable maximum speed limit signs).

For example Coquihala from Hope to Kamloops can have a maximum speed limit of 150kmph, the limit is set and you dont have to worry about it changing. As you drive you would have recomended speed limit signs, say the maximum recomended speed could be 110kmph, in turns and other sections lower.

The enforceable maximum speed limit should be set to the maximum overall safe speed on the stretch of road. The recommended speed should be just that, a recommended speed. People will pay attention to it and take it in to account if it is used fairly. Say you are driving 120km ph with a recommended speed of 110kmph and you see a sign of a recommended speed limit of 60kmph and a sign indicating the danger (say a turn) then you will drop your speed accordingly to what you consider safe. Of course though the recomended speed limits must be predictable and fair so people can use them.
