A "lowest speed limit" means that, under normal circumstances, traffic is
supposed to go at least that fast, and someone going slower can be cited for obstructing
traffic. It doesn't get enforced when heavy traffic, road construction, severe weather,
or the like forces everyone to slow down.
This is tagged with minspeed=* which hasn't been discussed here but I
guess if the minimum speed limit varies along with the maximum, the
same issues arise...
There's a difference between minspeed and "lowest speed limit", I would say.
A usual motorway in Germany (Autobahn) has a minspeed of 61km/h (you
must drive faster than 60), but of course that does not apply to
situations with e.g. stop motion traffic.
This is far different from the minimum possible maxspeed limit shown on
a dynamic maxspeed signal, because there you are allowed to drive slower
if the situation makes that necessary.
