The END-OF-40MPH-ZONE / RESTRICTED-VISIBILITY-40MPH-LIMIT couplet
reminds me of a trio of signs seen on a two lane highway paralleling
the Missouri River approaching St. Louis.  These signs were just a few
car lengths apart:

       ________           ________            ________
       |      |           |      |            | SPEED|
       |      |           |      |            |      |
       | HILL |           | /--- |            |  65  |
       |      |           | \-|| |            |      |
       |      |           |   || |            |      |
       |      |           |   || |            | LIMIT|
       |______|           |______|            |______|
	  ||                 ||                  ||
	  ||                 ||                  ||

Indeed, there was a very sharp curve at the base of a short steep hill 
(which curve was not visible until the nose of the car dropped as you 
came over the crest of the hill).  I suppose that, if you knew the road
well you could attempt to drive it at 65 ... or was that the way the 
state of Missouri removed fools from its road system?
