Solution

Speed limits are set with a motive to keep everyone safe. A high-speed car undergoes more damage than a low-speed car if it collides with other vehicles on the road. So, moving at high speed is dangerous not just for the driver, but for others on the road (including passengers, other drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians). Therefore, according to the rush on the road, the condition of the road, turns on the road, and slope of the road, the speed limits are sets nowadays. If speed limits will not be obeyed then more accidents will happen every day and people will lose their lives, it will also create traffic problems.
