gad, I think most people would agree slower is safer
time to react is the key, removing road markings and causing confusion isn't
fewer "accidents" is better, irrespective of the speed, I think that much is obvious
lower, I don't know Ealing, I have never been and have no desire visit. I suspect it is a relatively quiet area, although it is entirely possible I am mistaken
I skim read your link, it was boring me, however I did notice the reference to busy roads where traffic signals are essential, hence my point stands
I will leave what I do to your imagination, I am sure you will come up with something

^^^ What a ridiculous suggestion 
More collisions occur at junctions than (working) traffic lights
People have difficulty staying within the markings at the best of times, it would resemble something from the "Wacky Races", you can be Dick Dastardly
Confusion reigns when road makings are removed, it may make people slower but not necessarily safer
It would just add to the number of low speed "accidents"

so slower isn't necessarily safer?
I'm glad we've agreed that
wouldn't it also be better to have more low speed accidents, eliminating loss of life and serious injury, than fewer but more serious ones?

can you explain what you mean?
you referred earlier to people being slower but not necessarily safer
and then say you think most people would say slower is safer
which is it?
and why would someone be slower but not necessarily safer?

The blanket 55mph in the USA is ancient history.
Speed limits are set by State these days. Typically, when you're away from the cities the speed limit on Interstates is 75mph (although some States have higher limits e.g. Utah has long stretches of 85mph limits). Dual carriageways vary but typically the limit there is 65.
On other roads, out of towns, 55 would be typical but they do vary - a 65 limit on these roads is not uncommon.
