We have this speed limit in the Netherlands, mostly in areas with housing. It doesn't really affect busses because they stay on the bigger roads that are 50 kmh (about 31 mph). In my opinion it's fine to drive 20 mph on the more local roads, as long as there are collector roads where you can go a bit faster.
