I would prefer a more general change: studies show that traffic jams and accidents happen more frequently if cars are going at widely different speeds. So the consequence should be not only to ticket drivers who go too fast but also drivers who go too slow. So instead of setting a speed limit we need a speed range and deviation from it in either direction should be punished. Obviously this would only be for freeways and certain highways.

I've been in one such jam in the Netherlands where there is an upper limit at which everyone consistently (for the most part) drives their cars on the highway. So I don't know if that would help.
