Some highways have a default speed limit of 55 MPH. However, if the sign in a construction zone says 45 MPH, you can be ticketed for following the 55 MPH law.
It's the same thing. Both speeds are authorized. Which authorization supersedes? In the MPH examples, it's explicit. In the OOB examples, I don't think it's so explicit.

In your case I still could not get a ticket for exceeding the town's 25 MPH law in the 45 MPH zone because obviously the 45 MPH authorizes me to go that fast than the town limit. And no faster.
