Basically, an advisory speed limit sign is posted when there is an area of roadway where a hazard could occur. Example; a highway has a speed limit of 45mph. A curve that has a bridge directly on the other side may have a spped limit advisory of 35 mph. This limit is not, as some beleive, the maximum safe limit, but is the speed which gives the driver greatest chance of avoiding a problem if one occured with minimal impact on the traffic flow. These signs are not enforced as a speed limit sign, however, any time a driver is going too fast for conditions is illegal, regardless of what the speed limit sign or advisory exhibits.
