I'd like to know what area you live in where the precise boundary of a town can be sighted from so far off.
Around where I live, there are these things called hills and trees which often prevent me from sighting a collection of dwellings until I am essentially in it. A drastic change in speed limit with no warning placed in the right location will have me driving at what appears to be a safe speed for conditions and terrain, and suddenly have to heavily brake for the changed speed limit.
If they want to lower the speed limit in town, fine. Post the sign in a place which gives me sufficient warning to slow down smoothly.
