		The Italian Autostradas have a 130 km/h (81 mph) speed limit, with 110 km/h (68 mph) limits on curvy roads and in rainy conditions and 150 km/h (93 mph) limits on newer and straighter roads.

	PlanetMath: limit
		There is no easy fix for this problem, since the concept of a limit is inherently difficult to state precisely (and indeed wasn't even accomplished historically until the 1800's by Cauchy, well after the invention of calculus in the 1600's by Newton and Leibniz).
		The notion of a limit can be generalized to mappings between arbitrary topological spaces.

	Limit
		This whole limit idea assumes that some complicated just intervals can be understood as a combination of simpler just intervals; the simplest intervals that can't be further broken down into other simpler just intervals are the prime intervals (assuming octave equivalence, i.e., ignoring factors of 2): 3/2, 5/4, 7/4, 11/8, 13/8, 17/16, 19/16, etc...
		The prime limit of a just scale or system is the highest prime factor that appears in all the prime factorizations of the numerators and denominators of the frequency ratios of the system.
		Let me add that Partch's idea of "odd-number limit" only makes sense in the context of his "tonality diamond" of criss-crossing overtone and undertone scales, and is not always the same as the "prime limit" in current usage.

	limit
		I was often struck by his way of working up to the very limit of his strength, so that he suddenly stopped in dictating, with the words, "I believe I mustn't do any more." The same eager desire not to lose time was seen in his quick movements when at work.
		To complete the scheme of bringing our Court to a resemblance to the neighbouring Monarchies, it was necessary, in effect, to destroy those appropriations of revenue, which seem to limit the property, as the other laws had done the powers, of the Crown.
		An opportunity for this purpose was taken, upon an application to Parliament for payment of the debts of the Civil List; which in 1769 had amounted to 513,000 pounds.

		In these states the DOT could raise speed limits to any value that could be justified by an engineering study, or abolish speed limits entirely on the indicated classes of highway.
		One can argue in court that one was exceeding the speed limit but should not be convicted because the speed was safe (when they accept this argument, judges will likely want to see evidence beyond a defendant's claim that he was driving safely).
		Massachusetts limits are prima facie except on roads that belong to the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority or the Metropolitan District Commission.

		The good news: This limit is about 1,000 times faster than today’s state-of-the-art data storage devices.
		In an e-mail interview, Pescia said the experiments were important in that they showed that the speed of magnetic recording — which already clocks in at several billion bits, or gigabits, per second in the fastest hard drives — can still get 1,000 times faster.

	Rip Rowan: Over the Limit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Here’s where limiting comes into play: if we just tame the small number of peaks that are eating up the dynamic range of the signal, then we can get the entire signal hotter.
		Counterparts is indicitive of an aggressive approach to limiting that still seeks to preserve as much fidelity as possible in the signal.
		And, as we shall see, the limiting is so severe that the songs have no punch, and just slam out of the speakers like a loud blast of white noise.
