Every study on this topic says yes. Drivers go faster on roads where they can go faster, regardless of the speed limit. If you set a low speed limit on a road capable of supporting fast cars, people just ignore it - they obviously set the limit wrong, right? But if you make a road where people can't drive fast, they don't and they don't even feel that bad about it.
