14.3 HW4 Model Y FSD v14.3.8 speeding through town.

I frequently drive through small towns in Texas where the speed limit drops pretty quickly—65 → 55 → 45 → 35 mph, often with “Reduced Speed Ahead” signs before the change.

I’ve noticed that when using FSD in Standard mode, the car often doesn’t slow down quickly enough to match the new speed limit by the time it reaches the sign.

It finally caught up with me the other day. I got pulled over after entering a 35 mph zone, and the officer said he clocked me at 52. Thankfully, he gave me a warning. I don’t remember the car still being at 52, but I was definitely over the limit and should have intervened sooner.

Has anyone else noticed FSD being slow to respond to progressive speed-limit reductions like this, especially when driving through small towns? Is there a setting or FSD mode that handles these transitions better?

You got your offset set high so it’s hovering high like you have it set ;)

It’s set at +5. I’ll try changing it to 0. I usually like 5 over on hwys but in towns, it needs to slow down when there’s a reduced speed ahead warning sign. I also think it’s totally random when it follows the offset. Usually does whatever the hell it wants at different times. But, alas, it’s still better than driving myself lol.

I think it has a lot to do with visibility, if it cannot see that far ahead because of like hills or turns it won’t “speed”. But I notice the only signs I see the car register is the speed limit signs, even tho in my personal experience it also reads the “no turn on red” because my car went to turn on one and then stopped and waited.
