General police powers are reserved to the States and the people in the Consitution.

If States or localites wish to impose speed limits on public roads it is in their power to do so.

It is not necessary for everything, including cars, or horses, or ships, or airplanes to actually be mentioned in the Constitution in order for Federal, State, or local government to regulate those things. What is necessary for regulation is the purview granted by the enumerated powers. The scope of those powers is broad enough to include things unknown to the framers. What that scope does not include is reserved to the States and the people.
