When I was a kid, we went through some town in the midwest when we were on vacation. They had no speed limits - just signs that said that the traffic lights were synchronized for 25 MPH. Once you figured out that they were telling the truth, you drove 25.
So you can get more efficient traffic flow and eliminate speeding (if you've got a perfect grid system).
