1. My guess is it is in kilometers per hour which is then equivalent to 15 MPH. They converted it and then were to dumb to drop the 1/2

2. Poor 3/4. They never get any official love.

3. There was a stretch of road near my house growing up that had several speed signs with strange numbers like this. That stretch of road was windy and had been the site of many bad accidents. I was told that the city council did that to get people’s attention, with the hope that they then would be more likely to slow down. I don’t know if that’s true, but nobody pays attention to regular speed limit signs, so the theory seems plausible at least.

4. Heather where do you live? That’s just, well, obviously a creation of some governmental agency that didn’t think it through very well.

5. What are those “green” things in the background? We don’t have those here.

9. Perhaps it means go a little under the speed limit instead of a little over the speed limit. I tend to go about two or three miles over the speed limit myself.

11. The parking lot of the Oakland Temple says 9 1/2 MPH. I never understood that one, either.

14. Julie M. Smith - that’s exactly what I was going to say! It’s been a LOOOONG time since I’ve been to that temple, I was wondering if it had changed or not.

15. I was going to mention the speed limit at the Oakland Temple too… odd, but we laugh about it every single time!
