I think it would work to just make the inside lane unrestricted and only have speed limits on the outer lanes. That way, slow and fast drivers aren't endangering each other because they're in completely separate streams of traffic.

Except that could encourage people to stay out of the right lanes -- leading to confusion or wasted lanes when trying to pass people, which happens all the time. If you closely watch a german highway, there are 2 to 3 lanes (per direction) for the most part, and the speeds are quite consistent: The rightmost lane is full of trucks going 60 mph (90-100 km/h), while the middle lane is going around 80 mph (130 km/h), which is the advised speed, or Richtgeschwindigkeit. The leftmost lane is left exclusively for passing slower cars and those going 100+ mph (160+ km/h).
