There is no connection between posted limits and appropriate speeds.


Every day the police and others have to deal with people who have
worked out an "appropriate speed" and then crashed.

Note also that a speed limit is a maximum speed, not a target speed
or a minimum speed. Believe it or not motor vehicles have controls
that allow the operator to proceed at a lower speed than the limit
as well.


So... Drivers are not capable of assessing an appropriate speed - and
speed limits may well be higher than the appropriate speed?

We're all doomed, or what?
