I mentioned this in an old thread, and the article itself talks about it. Don’t think this is a “women’s representation issue”. It is much more nuanced, complicated, and sinister. Following is a good read on what it actually means.

My mental model is slightly different. I think of average speed of the car between source and destination. Every segment of the road will have an average speed at a given time, which may vary depending on the time of the day. This average speed is dictated by numerous factors, including traffic lights, number of slow vehicles on the road, speed limits, etc. You cannot really go significantly higher than this average speed, even if you try as aggressively as possible.
There are exception, especially in Asian roads. If you are a large vehicle, who doesn’t care about the law and limits, and they do very aggressive driving, then they go at a larger average speed. I have some completely asshole private bus services in my country.
