California did indeed impose a Temporary Maximum Speed Limit {VC 22348(a)} to avoid losing Federal funding. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, buying fuel on even or odd days and service station lines longer than those at Costco.
No individual ever got a ticket for violating the NMSL.
I remember those days. I think some people going to or from Las Vegas would argue the point of one getting citations. That was a big deal for a while in the Vegas papers about the California Highway Patrol (CHP) running convoys at 55 MPH. Pass the patrol vehicle and get pulled over for the violation. The pack then speeds up, and runs into the next CHP vehicle and everyone following him at 55.
He said nobody ever got a ticket for violating a national speed limit law. It's just a semantics thing. The feds mandates and the States passed the laws. So it was a state law violation. And yes CHP enforced the 55 mph limit when we had it.
