Explanation
Drivers must always follow the posted speed limit and never exceed a speed that is unsafe for current conditions. The speed limit indicates the maximum speed allowed under ideal conditions, but you can drive slower if needed, as long as you don’t block traffic. However, driving faster than the limit is illegal. In adverse conditions, like bad weather, you are required by law to reduce your speed to ensure safety.
