When does the speed limit on any given street come into effect? When the speed limit sign is visible? Or does the speed limit start where the sign actually is?

Where the speed limit sign is posted is where it begins, with the exception of school zones which are clearly marked - sometimes the zone begins yards ahead of where the sign is posted.

From where the sign is posted. Although it is a good idea to reduce your speed before entering a new speed zone, esp. if the new zone is a slower one.

No b/c if you start to accelerate in the slower section you're technically speeding in that area. You start to change your speed at the stop sign. Well that's my vision :D

I was taught a very good lesson here in tennessee the speed limit begins at the sign. That lesson cost me 300 dollars so i am sure that would be correct at least here in tennessee. Oh yes and the judge confirmed it.

The actual speed limit begins even with the speed limit sign. Only black and white signs are legal and enforceable. The yellow and black signs are suggestions, not the law.

First, only black and white street signs are enforceable. The yellow and black signs are a suggestive warning for the road ahead/ With that said, the actual speed limit begins where the speed limit sign is actually posted, visibility of the sign does not count.
