I have always wondered about this one. I am sure there are a few
cases in which you can get off of a highway onto city streets
without seeing er..passing a 50km posting. Even more so switching
from a 60km zone onto a side street.

I always assumed that this was covered by the "unless otherwise posted, the
speed limit is" law that is found within most municipalities. And
that most speed traps are setup by the police near a posted sign.
