While it would seem to be really stupid to have a 35 MPH speed sign 100' before a 45 MPH speed sign, one might think that the language on the first sign of "unless otherwise posted" saves things.
Except it doesn't. What you can't see there is that a town line is between the two signs. Why the first town felt a need to put up a speed limit sign that governs the next 50 feet of road is a good question. But as far as I know, those signs have been there for over 20 years.
I somehow imagine Roscoe P. Coltrane and Cletus in between the sign and the county line cackling about 'Gettin' them Duke Boys this time!'
ReplyDeleteThis could be because my only memory of that show is them creating needlessly complex traps to catch the Dukes in minor traffic violations even though they never seemed to obey a single rule of the road...
