The original poster said:

Just past a curve on a steady downgrade a sign announced the end of
the 55 mile-per-hour state speed limit and the beginning of the
town 40.

Your response was:

Then don't speed. I didn't like getting a ticket and insurance crap,
so I slowed down. Haven't gotten a ticket since.

It sounds like there wasn't enough warning for the reduction in speed
limit. If there's not enough time for the average driver to reduce his
speed, that's not fair. Speeding is one thing, but putting up a speed
trap is another.

In New Hampshire, there is often a "SPEED LIMIT nn AHEAD" sign far
enough ahead of the actual change in speed limit so that drivers can be
prepared to slow down when the limit actually changes.
