Some state utilities even pay money to sign-makers to inform you of this.

With that being said it sounds like the snow storm came out of nowhere and the tragedy was unavoidable - I've been in situations on 95 where visibility dropped to almost nil out of nowhere and even with plenty of spacing between cars it's still very dangerous just to be moving when you can't see 10 feet in front of you. My condolences to those who died.

The problem isn't just speed. The common "rules of the Road" are not being followed . Speed limit might be 55 but if the flow of traffic is running 65 I have no problem but if someone doesn't feel right get in the slow lane(right lane). Use blinkers God created them for a reason and when it's rain put on your headlights! If someone is behind you don't tap the breaks just put the blinker on and move over and if you're the one speeding be patient and let the people move over no need to pass on the shoulder of the road.
