Peak bandwidth of roads happens at surprisingly low speeds, you wanna maximise bandwidth set the speed limit to about 20km/h [1]. Anything higher and road capacity starts reducing.

So reducing the speed limit down to 60/h actually increases the capacity of the road, and reduces the likelihood of rolling traffic jams occurring or persisting.
