True, but if the average is about 1/3 of the limit the issue is likely not the issue. To increase the average by increasing the upper limit would require a massive increase. If many buses are being slowed by a 20mph limit, how many must be less than 3mph to get a 7.1mph average? If we fix those 3mph and bring them to 6mph imagine how much the average would increase...
