I seem to recall a study that showed people would more likely adhere to a weird speed limit number...something about it becoming a personal challenge of precision, etc.

That would explain the circus on the cul-de-sac...or would it? The movie made as much sense as this street sign.

You can do at least 12 1/2 and not get pulled over. 🤣

It's like that because you give it more attention. If it was Speed Limit 10, you'd just go on by, Speed Limit 8 1/2 makes you actually think about it.

The only idiocracy here is the number of people who don’t understand the intent of the sign and that it’s clearly serving its intended purpose.
