I remember in the long ago days of drivers ed in California we were taught that there was only one maximum speed limit, 65mph, at least until Nixon set it to 55mph. All other speed limits were supposed to be Prima Facia and the actual speed was supposed to as fast as the conditions allowed, up to the Maximum. Nowadays the only thing that matters is ticket revenue.
