Two things here:

1) the environment is radically different. No opposing traffic or cross traffic, no pedestrians, no obstructed sight lines, no sharp corners, etc....

2) by making the speed limits on the highways artificially low where everyone knows you can easily exceed them by 30 km/h and not be at any significant risk, it breeds contempt for city speed limits that are there for a reason. When I see an onramp sign with a yellow advisory limit of 50 km/h that I can easily take at 100+ km/h it makes me question those advisory limits wherever I see them. That being said, if I'm new to the area I always take them seriously until I can make my own judgement because in my arrogant youth I was surprised by signs that really were there for a reason.
