Or you could think of it more like the variable speed limit section of the M25 near Heathrow.
You could just leave the 70 mph sign up all day and night and have people trying to do 70 in the rush hour and failing and the wonderful ripple effects of brake lights causing traffic to stop and start. OR, you could throttle the speed of the road to a lower limit which means all the traffic flows more evenly, even if some of those with cars capable of 70 or more can't get home as fast as they might like, though with the actual congestion on the road, could never achieve.
