Driving significantly above the advisory speed can result in partial or full liability in the event of an accident, even if the driver was not at fault for the initial collision. Driving Etiquette and Strict Laws Driving significantly above the advisory speed can result
Frequent construction and maintenance ensure the surface remains smooth, though this often results in temporary speed limits.
