These unusually low speed limits given the nature of the roadways constitute a speed trap by my definition

I think line of sight also comes into consideration when determining speed limits. For instance, if traveling north on BV and making a left turn onto Talley Ridge you may find a car not visible when you start to turn suddenly almost on top of you. Increasing the speed limit to 45MPH will result in people driving in excess of 50MPH.
It seems driving in excess of the posted speed limits is considered an entitlement by a lot of drivers. The same applies to running red lights and stop signs.
