I'm surprised you wrote that - since when has a number on a stick been a safe speed?
Not quite sure what you read from that? Certainly it didn't say 'the speed limit = safe'.
As you go on to say (or imply), the limits are the road, road user(s) and vehicle(s).
Ok, I was looking for an implication that a maximum limit in normal terms 50/60/70mph allows normal drivers to think they're driving safely as they fall off the 30mph corner - "but I was doing the speed limit officer, as the council has set, so I was safe".
