To add to mystiquesvt's posting...another factor is that when limits are set artificially low it is more dangerous because cars will be going different speeds. Some folks will always go the limit while most will go at comfortable speed. So if comfortable speed is 50 and limit is 35 it will be more dangerous than if limit is 45 or 50.
Finally, you always have a vocal minority who live on a particular stretch of highway that will pressure for lower limits while the vast silent majority who drive on that same stretch of road want reasonable limits.
