5. Is LAX the only stateside airport that assigns speed restrictions to aircraft on visual approaches?

I've never heard this for DFW, but with 4 landing runways I suspect there's not nearly as much need.

I've landed at a few big airports in my plane, but my speed restriction is usually comprised of something along the lines of "peddle faster".
