While driving you come upon a sign which says, 'Reduced Speed 35 MPH'. What does it mean?

The suggested speed is 35 MPH.
The new 35 MPH speed zone begins at this sign.
The new 35 MPH speed zone begins at the next “speed limit” sign.
The new minimum speed is 35 MPH.
Explanation

A "Reduced Speed 35 MPH" sign indicates that the speed limit will decrease to 35 miles per hour ahead. The new maximum legal speed under ideal conditions takes effect where the subsequent "Speed Limit 35 MPH" sign is posted. This advance warning allows drivers to gradually adjust their speed for both safety and legal compliance.
