No. Advance warning signs on a curve recommend safe speed in ideal conditions.
advisory speed sign
You may need to slow down as you are entering a curve, then accelerate to resume a safe speed as you are leaving the curve.
slow to a safe speed before the curve
The maximum safe speed on a curve, indicated by a sign, is the speed at which a vehicle can safely navigate the curve under ideal conditions without losing traction or control. This speed takes into account factors such as the curve's radius, road surface, and potential weather conditions. It's important for drivers to adhere to this speed limit to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road. Exceeding this speed can increase the risk of skidding or rolling over.
You can be ticketed for traveling at an unsafe speed regardless of the speed limit.
The best place to adjust speed to steer through a curve is before entering the curve. Begin to slow down gradually before reaching the curve to ensure you maintain control and stay safe while navigating through it.

Usually it is posted on a yellow diamond shaped warning sign.
Also known as a reducing radius curve. The corner gets tighter or sharper as you go through it. Can be quite dangerous as the curve looks like you can go quickly and then the safe speed reduces.
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.
