Where exactly do signposts lead to?

technically speaking, it changes at the sign. but usually, u can get away with starting to speed up before u get there if the speed is increased. its a speed trap in the waiting when it applies to the 1's that reduce the speed. i have seen cops pull drivers over for not being at the lowered limit when u passed a 'reduced speed ahead' sign. guess some cops consider that 'absolute limits', and if ur not at that speed by the time u pass the sign, they'll tag u.

Though a cop won't pull you over if you see the speed limit change beyond the 10 feet, just as long as you see the sign.

just as the others said the speed limit takes effect at the sign. Not any before it or after it, However I believe the speed limit cant drop more than 10 MPH from one zone to another. Also usually required to post a sign "Reduced speed ahead"
