Considering that research has pointed to exactly the opposite of what you're saying, I'd love to see where you read that it was "very beneficial". Lowering speed limits doesn't mean the majority of drivers will automatically slow down, just as increasing the speed limit doesn't mean the majority will automatically speed up to "make up for it". Setting an arbitrary and unrealistic speed just means people will disregard it, which makes the road unsafe, not better.
