Here in NJ, most speed limits are set by the state, not towns. Townships have
to
go through a fairly strenuous process to get
them revised (a good friend is our Deputy mayor), so they generally don't
bother.
We have a major cross-town road in my Township that has houses it's entire
length. The speed limit is 25 because of that, but
with 'local knowledge'you can do 34 with no issue. Any more gets you pulled
over.

I don't know about other places, but here in the US,
towns frequently set speed limits well under the road's
engineered speed, causing people to unwittingly break
the law. There are countless towns along two-lane
highways in this state. In the county, the speed limit
is 50 MPH. Cross into Podunkville, and the town's
one cop in the town's one police car will be sitting
under the town's one 25 MPH speed limit sign. A mile
later, you're back in the county and it's 50 MPH again.
