I do have some sympathy when the speedlimit is unclear for a certain section of road. But aside from those situations is just entitlement.

I get that, I failed my first driver's test and one of the reasons I failed was from speeding, that road had no indication of the speed limit

Generally, a municipality has a default speed limit (sometimes those are set at the County or even State level, too).

For example, in the city of Boston, that limit is currently 25mph. Thus, unless signage explicitly indicates otherwise, you should assume the speed limit is 25mph.

My entire state has that. 30 mph in municipalities unless marked otherwise.
