The rational approach to legislation is to make a (timely) effort to comply.

When you're told the highway near your house has a new speedlimit you can either obey the speed limit, use a detour (which will still be slower on account of it being longer) or you can take your car off the road in huff.

The first one is the only solution that makes sense.

If we're going with these analogies, there are other approaches if you disagree with the speed limit. You might protest the speed limit if you lived there (hopefully without being berated while you do so) or if you don't live there you might avoid the place with unreasonable speed limits.
