Pault17 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I just had to get a picture of this speed limit sign. I was driving through a small "private" neighborhood this evening and was amazed at the lunacy of the inhabitants. The sad part is my taxpayer dollars helped pay for this thing. I don't think there is a marking for this on my speedometer. Oh, and sorry for the blur. I was laughing too hard to hold real still.:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skunkriv Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 We can forgive the blur if you were laughing. Hope it wasn't because you were tearing through there at a reckless 19 or 20 mph :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 How does it cost any more than a regular speed limit sign? Studies have shown that people pay more attention to "oddball" stuff like this and getting people to pay attention to their speed is what they are trying to do---so I guess it's *saving* money rather than having to use oversized signs or multiple ones. If you can't estimate 17 on your spedometer; do 15 or if you habitually exceed the speed limit be glad that you could do 25 and not be in the 10mph over bracket when you get a ticket.... Shoot I've been in my house 4 years now and our county road finally got a replacement street sign! I don't know how many years before I moved there the original one had been missing.

Brian C. Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Riverside hospital has one that sets the limit at 16.5 mph. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian C. Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 The above should have gone under the speed limit sign thread. Any more questions on MY pc abilities? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronPuppet Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 A few more signs of note. IP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habu68 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Our City municipal building is in a cul-de-sac , it contains both the city tax offices and the police department. For years the sign read "Dead End" until someone posted a sign that said "Where you taxes go to die" and it was published in the paper. Now the sign reads "No Exit", still fitting for the police department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
