So... nowhere close to tens of millions.

Commutes only account for some of trips taken. My previous post has the City estimating 3.2 million passenger trips/(probably work) day, which would equate to about 1 billion trips over a year. 1 minute extra per trip is over 16 million hours. Slower speeds will also likely effect buses, where many useful and important routes travel on these 40 km/h roads.
