A posted speed limit sign indicates the maximum speed permitted on the roadway for daytime or nighttime. In the case of the example in the question, the permitted speed at all times would be 55 miles per hour.

∙ 14y agoNo. The posted speed limit on any highway is the maximumspeed allowed under ideal driving conditions. You are required to adjust your speed according to actual road and driving conditions. You cannot be ticketed for 'speeding' if you are not exceeding the maximum speed limit, but you can be ticketed for 'driving too fast for conditions'. Those conditions can include curves, hills, dips, poor visibility, poor weather, or simply, heavy traffic, among others.

∙ 10y agoNo, that does not mean you can always drive 55. You may drive up to 55, but should adjust your speed to match the road conditions. It would be too fast on an icy road and you could be ticketed for an unsafe speed.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, but you can go up to only 5 mph more. No more than that.

∙ 12y agoNo it doesn't. If there are bad weather conditions (such as icy roads) which would make it unsafe to drive at 55 mph, then you have to slow down.
