The legal speed limit has nothing to do with how fast traffic moves on a road. Roads can be designed to slow down traffic, but slapping a 25 mph speed limit sign up on an 80-100’ wide 4-lane road does not slow down traffic. A road near me was reconfigured with a center turn lane and two lanes from four lanes and traffic slowed from 40 mph to 30 mph, the speed limit for this particular road. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2021/8/6/the-key-to-slowing-traffic-is-street-design-not-speed-limits https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2021/8/6/the-key-to-slow... https://www.smatstraffic.com/2021/08/30/traffic-calming/ https://www.smatstraffic.com/2021/08/30/traffic-calming/
