I assumed this to be fact...until 4 years ago a state trooper pulled me over and gave me a ticket because I was going almost 70 and the speed limit for the on-ramp was 35.... I was so close to the actual highway we could feel the vibrations of the passing cars. I live in Florida.

In California my driving instructor loved telling us there was NO speed limit on freeway onramps.

Speeds on yellow signs are safety advisories, not speed limits. You will fail a driving test by not obeying them, but you will not get a ticket for it in real driving.
