Found a Minimum Speed Limit sign in the middle of my town.
A place to discuss problems of car centric infrastructure or how it hurts us all. Let's explore the bad world of Cars!

In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Is this even a lawful sign? Or just a shit head city council being cute? I know minimums can be posted on the interstate, but come on, this is clearly a city road.
In the USA it looks to be governed by the state or whomever owns the road (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_the_United_States_by_jurisdiction). I've only ever seen minimum speed limits on highways.
Ah! Mystery solved.
I will say a quick search through the article seems to show Mississippi is an exception - most states only have minimum speeds of 40-45mph.
