True.

Very similar, also, to saying that religiously sticking to a speed lower
than some arbitrary number on the side of the road is safer than setting a
speed based on the conditions.

Of course these speed limits are not completely arbitrary as you
suggest, but vary depending on the conditions.

e.g. residential urban street 20mph, rural motorway 70mph
