The "highway" at five am doesn't matter if you're stuck in a bottleneck of gridlocked cars as soon as you hit the outskirts of town. You're looking at 1.5-2 hours minimum from 50km out of town to here. Kompong Speu to center of town is a nightmare, so are NR1, 3 and so on. Would be a bit faster on a motorbike, but still not exactly an attractive option.

To do 100k on a motorcycle anywhere in Cambodia you must have a death wish
And if that's what you do coming and going to work every day I'd say slow down or you won't be here long

Theoretically...
Now, here in the practical world, it’s a very different story. It’s not how fast you go for a short time that counts.

It’s actually quite a task to achieve 60kmh as an average speed on a longish journey, here, outside of busy times.

Of course, in KOW, legal max speed I ever seen is 80, in city and suburb mostly 40 - 60, however, in practice, it is normal to see car with plate number associate with government to drive around 100/H even inside city.

Some of us Hoolibarang achieve such indecent speeds that would have had stevenson’s audience apoplectic, and women fearing for there uteruseseses.
Sadly, at any speed over 15kmh, the front of the car eventually starts making horrible grinding noises...
