I have been told that Roseville speed surveys are done incorrectly.
Which means that the posted speed limits are set too low.
Again, only rumors.

Also, remember that Douglas in only 30 MPH near the Sunrise end. I got pulled when I was going about 45 MPH, he let me go though. It definitely doesn't feel like a 30 MPH zone.

The survey is supposed to be done in a way that accurately samples the speed of traffic that is not influenced by things like cops parked on the side of the road. The speed of which 85% of the vehicles are travelling at or slower is then rounded down to the nearest 5MPH. There are certain maximums in place for different types of roads. So even if the servey says 85% of the cars are going at or below 95MPH in a residential area, the limit will be capped to 25.
What I'm not sure about is if those radar "This is your speed" signs are used for surveys. If they are then I would have to agree that the usually get drivers to slow down which would skew the survey. So I make it a point to try to peg these signs.
Rumor has it you can fight a ticket if the limit is set illegally.
Man, the stuff you learn in traffic school is worth it
