That assumes no traffic.
In the real world, the slower the speed limit is, the less traffic a road can carry, in vehicles per hour. So the lower the speed limit and the slower the vehicles are, the more traffic backs up because the road cannot carry as many vehicles per hour.
Lowering the speed limit will only result in more traffic backups in this situation.
