Other cities might be different, but small (and some no-so-small) streets in Munich streets have a 30km/h limit (note to Americans, that's less that 20 mile/h). I never saw many cars obeying those limits.
As far as I can see those limits exist to make the politicians responsible for them look concerned about safety.

Drivers don't obey those limits to the letter, but they certainly do recognize them in so far as that they go considerably slower than the speed they would drive if the limit wasn't there.
