If you don't want people going 35mph down the street, maybe the speed limit shouldn't be 35mph.

Edit: I hate vague traffic signs. "Reduce speed". Ok, I was going 30, now I'm going 20. Is that good enough?

Speed limits are pretty ineffective at reducing speed, although they are good at communicating expectations (which is one the issue here). Iirc the green book recommends road narrowing for slowing down drivers.
