No need.
The speed limit is ALWAYS posted maximum limit. The law is ALWAYS stated with exception and allowance of safety, safe driving, obeying other traffic laws, etc. Enforcement is another issue. Nowhere are you mandated to put your life in danger or to adhere to the maximum to accommodate anything (people, traffic, speeders, critters, pedestrians).
Choosing not to drive is an option. Choosing not to speed is the law. Choosing your own safety is absolute.
