Default Where to get Official Speed Limit Info

I was ticketed for speeding 55mph on a street with 35mph limit.
I'm thinking about contesting the ticket. First off, that was
a major street with 40mph signs everywhere. I'm hoping to get
an official doc. (presumably from gov.). But where should I do
the search?

Coming back to the ticket. 55mph is more like highway speed.
I'd honest know that if I was travelling that fast. Even if
I was a little above, that was close to midnight on a 3 lane street
with dry pavement (well lited) - that's street traffic was light and it
was safe. I spotted the police car turning
into the same street earlier. Then shortly after, he stopped me.
Could he possibly have enough time to pace my speed? Could he
have mixed his own acceleration (to catch up the distance) with
my speed?

This's my first ticket out of 10 years of driving. Any tips?
Thanks,
Raymond

Yeah, don't do 55 in urban settings, especially in 35 or even 40 mph
zones.

Does it ever occur to you that there're unjust cases? Some
cops could play this game that most people won't bother to
fight their tickets that they can give out tickets as they
please.

Yeah, while we're on this topic, what is there for them to lose?
It's real easy for them to write/file one. IF the "victim" wasn't
convicted, no big deal to the cop???

So if you don't have anything positive to contribute, you could
always exercise your right to remain silent!

If you weren't on such a poor pitiful me trip, you'd see just how ludicrous
that statement is......

Oh, my, aren't we just a bit sactimonius for someone who is trying to prove
to everybody how "innocent" he his and how those mean bad ole cops are just
always picking on him.........

YAWWWNNNN.....don't you ever read this NG.....your story is SOOOO OLD and
OVERUSED.......i.e., the cop was picking on me.....i.e., I really wasn't
going that fast, i.e., poor poor pitiful me.......

Get over yourself and face reality.......you were speeding, the cop DOESN'T
have it in for you.....and if you can't control your car and you can't
figure out fast YOU were going, maybe you should be taking the bus?????
