Maybe your local government could do proper planning so that convenient and timely public transit would offer her a viable alternative to driving? Let’s not blame individuals for systemic problems.
Driving to the conditions is also vague. Some people feel safe driving near the limit in snow, some think you have to go 40 under. Now that also depends on if you have snow tires or not too. If you don’t, you shouldn’t be trying to reach the limit unless the road is clear and dry. But even traction is reduced once it gets near freezing regardless.
In the end, it’s a judgment call, and pulling the person over is only ever going to make the situation worse. They won’t suddenly start going faster or find a different route the next day.
Highway is 100-110, and slow moving I think is 40km/h under the limit. No slow moving or bikes allowed on the highway in the city.
It’s part of the Can-A-mex corridor, or used to be until the ring road was built.
Also, snow, plenty of reasons to only go 40km/h in some conditions, going under the limit is illegal only when you’re truly limiting traffic, and that’s always a judgment call.
There’s a lady that goes 30km under the speed limit on the highway during rush hour. In front of her clear traffic, behind her, grid lock.
Not going the speed limit creates the traffic and makes travel worse.

She could also take different roads where the speed limits suit her comfort.
That is illegal where I live.
What’s the range allowed? There are plenty of places with minimums, but many have such a wide window that they may as well not bother.

"Under the speed limit’ is also 59 (assuming 60 is the limit)… Not just 30…
Speeding also means 1km/h over as well, you saying a 2km/h difference is what makes something safe vs unsafe…?
No it’s what makes it legal vs illegal
Plenty of people dangerously overtake to go just 5kmph faster. That was my point but it seems I should have stated it plainly.
Going under is just as illegal as going over.
