 I got the following message from some one who could be described as a 
'reliable source' (Certainly in Rail Safety issues),

No. They are a matter of choice by the Light Rail people who believe
that the lower speedboard speeds will provide greater passenger comfort.
The ATP is just there to enforce SAFE speeds, the speedboards enforce
COMFORT speeds.

 I assume then, I will later see speed boards showing numbers, not just 'ATC',
much of the line is not easly accessable (legally) at this point. One would
have to ride a tram to see the entire length. Another month and It will be open....
