I believe Speed Limits used to be determined by the 85 percentile speed of traffic using a road (the maximum speed at which up to 85% of traffic travelled). I think the basis of this was that that speed was the one which most drivers felt was reasonable, caused the least frustration and resulted in the least overtaking manoeuvres - i.e., the safest and most appropriate speed for the road.
Then the uneducated safety nazi's decided the speed is the Devil and driving slower MUST be safer - sod human psychological fact and the way the human brain functions, just force everyone to drive slower, increase driver frustration, create dangerous overtaking situations and then say it's all in the name of SAFETY.
