I drove to San Francsico from LA and back recently, and there are the special
"55" signs for trucks and autos with trailers; "70" for everyone else.

BTW, the CHP can ticket you for going faster than the posted limit, even if
55 is now a prima facie limit rather than the absolute top of 65.  They can
even ticket you for speeding at 45 if it's too fast for conditions.
