That line of thinking sounds incredibly beneficial to the tiny percentage of population that lives in urban areas not dependent upon freeways or long commutes.

At any rate the US has already tried this with a national maximum speed limit of 55 and it was incredibly unpopular like prohibition.

Instead of setting the speed limit, we could regulate the speed of cars off the production line. It's a lot more fun to drive a slow vehicle fast, than a fast vehicle slow.
