You are emphasizing the behavior of the motorist, rather than the unjust nature of the law. The core issue here is nanny statism. If road conditions are normal and no workers are present, these lower limits are ridiculous. I do not advocate civil or uncivil disobedience over a trivial matter like a speeding ticket, but someone has to tell the bureaucrats to stop passing laws of this nature. In Texas, for example, lower speed limits in construction zones are only enforced when workers are present.

“rather than the unjust nature of the law. “

So, isn’t a courtroom the proper place to make that argument, rather than to a cop on the side of the road?

Cop: Did you see the speed limit signs?
Driver: You mean the ones with red flags on them?
Cop: Yeah.
Driver: No, I didn’t.

“In Texas, for example, lower speed limits in construction zones are only enforced when workers are present.”

Is that because when they slam into idle construction equipment, all they hurt is themselves? And they can afford to pay for the construction equipment?
