The next morning you are driving through "Smithville" and are pulled
over for speeding. The officer points out the new signs and then issues
a ticket. Would you accept the ticket, plead guilty and pay the fine or
protest it because of lack of notice?


Damned sure I'll protest. Good chance I'll beat it also based on historic
renderings of most traffic courts.

And you would be correct. A local town changed speeds on a road and did
not follow the required notification procedure. All of the tickets they
issued were invalidated.
