I believe that the speed limit is based around speed. I think it is generally safe to drive the speed limit, except under extraordinary circumstances. I also think it’s rather easy to drive at less-than-safe speeds (there are grey areas depending on circumstances) while ignoring the limit. I mean, maybe you could make efficiency arguments, but in my experience going over the speed limit rarely helps you get anywhere faster around major metro areas. So such arguments would probably have to argue for specific circumstances. Even the autobahn has speed limits posted in certain areas. If we’re going off purely anecdotal evidence, I’ve noticed that people tend to speed because they are poor with time management, or they are paid to speed by some organization (consider pizza delivery). Meanwhile, what are you proposing?
