Default Do cops give tickets for highway exit speed limits?

I was wondering the other day if cops give tickets for those signs that give the speed limit for exits? I realize that I dont really follow them, but should I?
Does cops give tickets for going faster on the exit than that posted exit speed limit?

It would be really slow following those signs.

I don't think they do. Those signs just tell you what the safest speed on the exit is. Its basically just a recommendation.

Any of the yellow signs are "recommended" speed limits..

The only down side is they can ticket you based on observation of unsafe actions.. If they feel you are driving too fast, they can consider it careless, agressive, or reckless and go from there..

No. The exit ramp speed signs are precautionary signs, hence the yellow and black color. They are determined by the ramp design and ect...they can not be enforced the same as the speed limit signs that are black and white.

You know the cop would probably say something along the lines of,

"Well the exit ramps are for deceleration so anything above the posblughbity blugh blugh I'm a fat 711 donut penetraing slob"
