"Analysis of Advisory Speed Setting Criteria" by Mashrur A. Chowdhury, Davey L. Warren, and Howard Bissell, P.E. (December, 1991- Public Roads)
Curve warning signs are often supplemented with an advisory speed plate when the safe curve speed is less than the speed limit. The advisory speed is intended to inform an unfamiliar driver of a possible hazardous situation and recommend a safe speed to drive around the curve. Recent studies and surveys suggest that advisory speeds on curves are generally set too low and are not set consistently from State-to-State or even within a given State.
The study described in this article evaluated the validity of current curve speed criteria for modern vehicles.
