With good design you shouldn’t have to. Should a door have a label telling you to push or pull or should it be designed properly so it’s intuitive. Signage should be the last resort to get people to behave properly. I would say a sign instructing someone to do a non-intuitive behaviour is a failure of design.
The speed limit is the maximum under perfect conditions. It’s the responsibility of the driver to adjust their speed to the conditions that are there whether it’s a permenant traffic calming device or snow or parked cars.
