Show TRAFFIC TIPS Posted speed limits, which members mem-bers have pledged to observe, are there for one purpose to guide you in driving at speeds which are safe for the particular highway high-way or city street. Reduced speeds are necessary within communities school zones, etc, because of the possibility of pedestrians crossing the highway, side street traffic, etc., while in open country the maximum adjudged ad-judged safe is 60 mph. Posted speed limits are not always al-ways safe limits especially when conditions are unfavorable. Snow, rain, fog, ice on the road, dense traffic and many other factors call for reduced speed. You wouldn't think of driving at 60 through a dense fog, even though the posted limit was 60. Remember drive at speeds which are SAFE, and at no time exceed the posted limits. |
