What would a human do if they saw a 25mph changed to say 55mph?

  If you see a crazy curve ahead, you would slow down

    I like that. Let the robots determine the appropriate speed limits in real time.

    In Oregon the basic speed rule says that if you are going around a curve too fast to be able to stop for someone laying in the road, you are going too fast no matter what the signs say.

  "That doesn't seem right", probably. We have a 55 mph zone near our house that anyone not from the area seems unable to believe (as it's a narrow, fairly winding two-lane road) and you get stuck behind them puttering along at 35 for a few miles.

  You're driving along a road. The signs all say that the limit is 55mph. You pass a sign that says "55mph ends." Now what? [Note: The route to a friends house years ago did exactly this as you got away from developed areas.]

    It varies state by state and can depend on what kind of road you are on. Most states define a default speed limit for roads and highways.

    Most states have rules such as: "35mph unless otherwise posted".

    The UK's rules for what to do when there isn't a sign: https://www.gov.uk/speed-limits https://www.gov.uk/speed-limits

      Of course there's the unofficial and regularly observed "I think this is 60, but I can't see (or have no idea what is) a NSL sign so I'm going to do 45-50 to be safe"
