  Not just LA.  One one Bay area freeway, there is a grand total
  of ONE speed limit sign, worse it is immediately after a merge
  when most drivers are too busy trying to merge without being run
  over by some dork to notice.

  There are 6.5 sets of those !@#!@#$ diamond lane signs, but nowhere
  is the speed limit (recently raised to 65) noted along the entire
  run of the freeway.

>So, how do we assume we won't get a ticket if we go 65?

  The CHP's have warned that if the sign says 55, they intend to
  ticket even though the darned sign might be scheduled to be
  changed "soon".  Lovely folks, wot?
