Advisory Speed Limits
Advisory Speed Limits
While most speed limits on U.S. streets and highways are enforced by law, a certain category of speed limit is technically optional. These “advisory” speed limits are generally posted on yellow signs, as opposed to white signs, and are often seen near sharp curves and steep inclines. Although drivers can choose to take curves at higher than recommended speeds, this is not a safe practice. For truck drivers in particular, failing to obey advisory speed limits can result in serious consequences.
Trucking companies have enough to worry about without tracking down overdue payments from clients. When you sell your unpaid invoices to TBS Factoring Service, LLC, you can devote your valuable time to other pressing issues.

Reasons to Follow Advisory Speed Limits
Advisory speed limits are meant to protect drivers from accidents. By reducing your speed along dangerous portions of the road, you can maintain control of your vehicle even on downhill slopes and sharp turns. Exceeding the advisory safety limit may cause your vehicle to leave the roadway, roll over, or crash into guardrails and other vehicles.
In addition to these risks, ignoring advisory speed limits may expose drivers to legal action. Although driving faster than the advised speed is not technically illegal, drivers may still be liable for the accidents they cause within advisory speed limit zones. Because driving faster than the advisory speed limit increases your risk of an accident, this unsafe practice may indirectly cause you to be sued for damages in the event of an accident.
