A little different in Clarksville; back in the 70s, they
lowered the speed on the main drag from 45 to 35. The
reason stated (in a newspaper article) by one town board
member was "to get the people driving 55 to slow down to
45". So the *real* speed limits in Clarksville are 10MPH
over what's posted.
That contention hasn't seen a court test, yet, tho...
;)

Same here - in town 35 mph limit = drive 33. On the parkways
and interstates
65 mph = 75 (or get run over).
