40-60-80 rule is interesting, the only problem is: It wouldn't work moving from lane to lane. The car going 40 suddenly moves in the lane where everyone is moving at 60 or 80? or slamming on the brakes to move to the right...I get the "Spirit" of it though. This would be an interesting "reactionary" experiment. The 405 is like that daily.

Sure it could work - you just have to leave adequate distance and plan the timing of lane changes better to compensate for the difference in speed. Exactly like people do now - as you correctly point out.
All it does is basically make the same strip of roadway more "usable" to a wider spectrum of drivers and the speeds they're comfortable (or capable) with.
