There are various different advisory signs, such as ones warning of a slight curve, or one warning of a sharp turn coming up. Most of these have advisory speeds posted somewhere on the sign, so I made this thread for the extremes of those speeds. (and signs, in some cases.)

For example, here's a really low speed for a freeway ramp: http://goo.gl/maps/ueI7e

And although this is only the first post of the thread, I don't believe you can find a lower advisory speed than this: http://goo.gl/maps/OVB4u

Share any interesting ones you find!

This intersection is definitely a great candidate for a ParClo interchange. It is definitely not safe having to make a sharp u-turn onto or off of a freeway. I refer to these as "Oh S**t" exits.
And a highway will be there;
    it will be called the Way of Holiness;
    it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean will not journey on it;
    wicked fools will not go about on it.
Isaiah 35:8-10 (NIV)

I'm surprised they'd even post the 65 mph speed limit sign with the toll plaza 1/4 mile away.

Here is a 5km/h advisory sign for a hairpin at Galston Gorge in Sydney's North

Almost sure I've posted this one before in a similar thread, but here's one I grabbed a shot of along I-44 southwest of OKC:

Maybe not extreme, but at least unusual:



This is on US 160 descending Wolf Creek Pass toward Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
