Of course. Some people just don't have what it takes to regulate their own behaviour and that is why we have laws to govern road speed and other laws to protect people.
Speed limits are set by whatever level of government owns that particular roadway.
Yeah... People need speed limits to know the correct speed to drive, some people may argue that people will know what speed they should drive at, but what about people who are new?
Parts of the German Autobahn do not have posted speed limits.
Yes Germany does have speed limits but on a lot of motorways they dont :)
They are not allowed to exceed speed limits
The federal government sets national speed limits by promising monetary incentives to states that cooperate with their legislature. The states can set their own limits but if they want aid from the federal government they must comply with their mandates.
Drivers need to be consciously aware of changing speed limits and watch for posted signs in city and suburban driving environments. You would expect: A speed limits of 15 mph B speed limits of 25 mph C speed limits of 35 mph You would not expect to see D speed limits above 45 mph City driving is referred to as "start and stop" driving because traffic is either moving or stopped. Changing speed limits can make traffic slow to a crawl, such as in school zones.
Posted speed limits tell you what the maximum speed is on that specific road. That is the speed that you are legally able to drive on the road.
Absolutely. Speed cameras act as a deterrent to most motorists. Speed limits are there for a reason - to keep everyone safe while using the roads. Anyone exceeding the speed limit should expect to be punished for it !
Local speed limits.
This depends on whether you are looking for aircraft speed limits or motor vehicle speed limits.
well to be safe the speed limits on a dead end street should be around 45 to 60mph just to be safe. if there is some one who couldent tell that the road ends without a oulet they shouldn't be speeding anywayse
