Many of these roads are subject to low speed limits and are heavily monitored by law enforcement on weekends. The consequences of exceeding the speed limit can be severe, including the possibility of having your driver's license revoked. This strict enforcement can be justified considering the roads are often narrow and winding, which encourages drivers to exceed the recommended speed limits.
