There has been a series of electronic speed limit signs on I-40 in the mountains of North Carolina for over 30 years. It’s activated by poor visibility, the lower the visibility the lower the speed limit. Fog is the problem on that stretch. I’ve driven through there when the speed limit was 5. We were hanging our heads out the windows looking for the lines on the road. Afraid to stop, for fear of getting rear ended.
It cleared up in an hour but dang, it seemed like six hours to me.
