In other words, if the engineer is going too fast for the upcoming curve,
maybe seeing the sign will prompt him to slow it down in time. If one
pile-up is averted because of a speed limit sign, it was worth having them.

Last ditch? :/

Bob,
I see your point that the signs could easily be out of date, particularly
if superelevation were changed. Still, as with this morning's Japanese
catastrophe where 50+ people were killed--and the engineer was thought to
have been doing 75 mph+ on a 45 mph curve (he was late and making up time)
- --I'm wondering if the signs aren't a good last-ditch reminder. . .
