Utah’s basic speed law and the presumed speed limit
This is not wrong. It has something to do with your lack of legal knowledge.
There are 2 parts of the speeding law for the U.S. states utilizing the Basic Speed Law scheme - the Basic Speed Law and the absolute Maximum. While the Basic Speed law states that you can drive as fast as you want as soon as it is safe to do so, the absolute Maximum is when you must follow the speed limit on the sign. The absolute maximum is usually imposed in special areas, including highways, school zones, etc.
For example, it is legal to drive 45 mph in a 35 mph local road when the condition allows. However, it is considered speeding when you drive 56 mph in a 55 mph highway at all times.
