Now that I've beaten the transportation system to a bloody pulp, it's your turn!
Take Eastwest St. and Northsouth Blvd. Eastwest St. has a speed limit of 47 gal./inch, while Northsouth Blvd. has a speed limit of 63 lbs./second. While turning from the street to the boulevard, when exactly 45 degrees of the turn have been executed, what is the speed limit? If this means what I think it does, then there is NO speed limit at that point of a turn, because it can't be determined. So, as the government is apparently saying, "Gun it during turns, motorists!!"
Another possible application of this is, you can go any speed you want. Just make sure that you're only clocked by the cop while halfway through a turn onto a road with a different speed limit.
Another theory: Speed limits are not actually speed limits, but rather velocity limits; that is to say, they have distance, time AND direction as factors, as opposed to a speed limit which would only have distance and time as factors. This can be used to your advantage.
Step 1: Go as fast as you can, perhaps bending spacetime.
Step 2: If you bent spacetime, look into the future and see when you will be clocked. If not, make a good guess. At this time, start driving on the wrong side of the road. Hint: dodge approaching traffic.
Step 3: When you get pulled over, explain to the cop that your velocity on that side of the road, according to the direction indicated by "speed limit" signs, is actually in the low negative thousands, well below the posted limit. Be sure to use large words.
Step 4: Drive off while the cop tries to remember high school calculus and/or physics.
Who knew that simply turning from 8th North to State Street would foment this in my mind??
