People drive at the speed they feel comfortable at, not at the speed limit.
That's a 1992 study. In the past 30 years much research has contradicted that study.
More, research has also shown how to most effectively lower speeds with speed limits. Specifically speed limits are more effective when implemented broadly, i.e., in an entire neighbourhood, rather than individual streets or sections.

Is one study...not the only one.
