Physics agrees but why stop at 20, why not make it 10mph and be safer still? How many lives is it worth to be able to travel at 20mph rather than 10mph?
Human behavior disagrees; unreasonably slow leads to either "road rage" or ignoring the speed limit entirely. Set the speed at a reasonable number (not the lowest common denominator) and the roads will be safer.
