Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / May 2008Talk about mis posted speed limits....
http://tinyurl.com/6of9lt I saw this in another group, seems that someone can't decide just how underposted the speed limit should be over there. Is there a Gatso in teh area too? -- "Hillary Clinton put us all in danger! Put the whole damn country in jeopardy, and she needs to pay the price for her actions!"

Obviously the left sign is facing the wrong direction. I can only assume the workers where in a hurry and neglected to check the work afterwards... BTW, UK uses MPH, but Ireland km/h. > Obviously the left sign is facing the wrong direction. I can only assume > the workers where in a hurry and neglected to check the work > afterwards... BTW, UK uses MPH, but Ireland km/h. Article states it was a mistake. Any bets that they "correct" it by changing both to 15????? I'd be shocked if they get this right the second time. :) -Dave > larry_scholn...@yahoo.com wrote: > > >http://tinyurl.com/6of9lt [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > of the photo is clearly marked "ENDS" - as in, the 30(mph or kmh)zone > is ending and the 20(mph or kmh) zone is in force from this point on. NO. Any speed limit previously in force is superseded by a new one anyway. It's some kind of 'zone ends' but the photo has insufficient resolution to see what kind of zone.

That would be a valid point in the US, but not in Europe. (In Britain they use the international sign system, right? They better!) In European signage, you're not expected to read. To be a correct "end of zone" sign, it should have had a red diagonal line crossing out the '30'. > > http://tinyurl.com/6of9lt > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Are those 30 MPH & 20 MPH? Yes.
