When the speed posted on a sign that warns you of a curve ahead?
On many highways it is unsafe to continue at the normal speed limit as you go around a curve (especially for large trucks with a high center of gravity that might tip over), therefor reduced speed signs (often yellow advisory signs not the usual white legal signs) are posted indicating reasonable and safe speeds to use through the curve.

When driving around a curve you should focus?
through the curve well ahead of your vehicle, along your path of travel. Mostly correct...but there are three parts to negotiating a curve; brake up to it, coast thru it, accelerate out of it. Your sight path should be ahead and to the OUTSIDE edge of the curve. You are looking at the point where your car would run out of the lane. As your progress thru the curve, your eyes "roll" forward also, always sighting to the outside. This results in maintaining center-of-lane travel, as well as enough forward observation to see, and react to, hazards.
Is it illegal to drive less then fort five mph when going around a curve?
Not necessarily. It depends on the posted speed and road conditions. It would be dangerous to whip around a sharp curve in bad weather, so you are actually required to slow down and drive at a safer speed. Some curves are posted much lower than 45 if they are dangerous curves.
