I assumed it was 65; by the time your car accelerates to 65, you'd have to 
slow down and get off the freeway :)

Really? There is a "55" sign near the Convention Center, actually
attached to a pillar that supports the Santa Monica Fwy overhead.

I forgot to mention the 170 Hollywood Freeway.
I assume that one is 55?

IMHO a good way to help differentiate between 65 and 55 freeways would be to 
to color-code the speed limit signs, or at least contrast them (i.e. 55mph 
signs would be black lettering over white, 65 would be white over black)

I also think the Caltrans WWW page (http://www.scubed.com) should have
the "green" designated areas indicate speeds of 45 and above, instead of 35 
and above.
