These signs are typically used to warn drivers of hazards like curves, construction zones, or areas with reduced visibility. While not a legal requirement, exceeding the advisory speed and causing an accident could lead to liability for the driver.”
I usually take roundabouts at 20 mph, as I understand that to be the speed limit. I don’t recall seeing anyone take them faster. I stay strictly in the marked lane for where I want to go. Some people try to straighten out the curve by cutting into other lanes. That’s lazy, and it’s a bad idea. I would way that it would be unsafe to take those curves faster than 20 mph, assuming people stay in their lanes.
