I actually have experience driving in multiple countries so I think I can add something to this.<p>In Poland, where I am from, speed limits are retarded. Seriously, the speed limit can change several times on the distance of 1km. Seriously, pick any Polish street on Google StreetView and follow it for a bit - it will keep on going between 90km&#x2F;h to drop to 40km&#x2F;h to then go to 60km&#x2F;h for 100m or so, to go down to 50km&#x2F;g to go up to 90km&#x2F;h again. So people sort of pick a middle speed somewhere between those and end up driving over&#x2F;under the speed limit for 90% of the time. Of course the police knows this so they are usually waiting at this one bit where the speed limit drops for literally 50m of the road for no reason at all. I saw the speed limit falling from 90km&#x2F;h to just 50km&#x2F;h in the middle of nowhere, with nothing in sight, and a police car waiting just behind the sign to catch you speeding.<p>In the UK on the other hand, it&#x27;s much much much better. I never feel like the speed limits don&#x27;t make sense. As you approach a city, the speed limit goes from 70mph to 50mph, then to 40mph, to finally fall down to 30mph in the city and 20mph in residential areas. I have never seen a situation where the speed limit would change multiple times on one stretch of road. Even driving in the countryside, the speed limit is always 60mph even if the road is not good enough to actually support that speed - you are expected to use your own judgement, if you go into a blind corner going 60mph you are an idiot, there&#x27;s no need to set up speed limit before every single turn and tree like they do in Poland.
