The vehicle behind me accelerates to pass and often is back up to 50+ by the time it actually gets to the curve. It's not that the curve can't handle the 50mph speed, it's just that the posted limit is 35 for safety reasons. Everybody's in a hurry. Oh well.

Unless the sign actually says "speed limit" the posting of a recommended speed is merely cautionary, not a speed limit. Such signs are usually yellow and are usually found in places like exit ramps. Official "speed limit" signs are always white.
