A white rectangle displays SPEED LIMIT 35. What does the number communicate?

Correct answer: The maximum mph when conditions permit.
Why
The posted number is a legal maximum; a lower speed is still required whenever conditions make the maximum unsafe. A speed limit is neither a required pace nor a promise that the road is safe at that speed. Rain, darkness or traffic can make a lower speed necessary even where the posted number has not changed.
