The "Unless otherwise posted" is a bit confusing to me. Isn't EVERY speed limit sign the limit to be followed unless otherwise posted? If at this sign I can say, "well, there was a sign a bit farther back that read 35mph so I'll just travel that speed" then why can't I say that at every sign? "Yes, I know the sign reads 45mph but the one a half mile back read 60mph and the one a half mile ahead reads 60mph so I'll just travel 60mph the whole way."

What’s confusing to me no one travels 20 MPH
