E seems like the only answer.

A) Avg. speeds are already around 35 then what effect will increasing maximum speeds have. None

B) It is stated in the passage that all roads are already being used

C) Can't find any logic or reason for it to have any effect.

D) Everyone is probably traveling at lower speeds. should everyone be fined then?

E) only option left.
But it still has a reason to workplace and residence being close again will reduce load on the highways

IMO C.

E solves only one issue- businesses. Stores and other facilities are not addressed.
