   limit wildly from 35 mph to 55 mph. If you followed those limits, it would get

   waiting for unsuspecting    
   drivers who failed to adjust from 55 mph to 35 mph.

   Are you talking about actual speed limit signs or those warning signs posted   
   ahead of curves that advise a safe speed for the curve coming up?
