There’s a section of road I drive during my commute that absolutely nobody obeys the limit. No car, truck, bus, ambulance, motorcycle, is travelling at 18 MPH (30 kph) for the 3/4 mile strip.

Okay, that’s an exaggeration. New drivers and people with radar detectors that notice there’s a speed trap there are doing the speed limit.

The city went so far as to install one of those speed boards that flash if you are travelling more than 10 kph (6 MPH) above the posted limit. Every single vehicle going through there gets the flashing lights and frowny face. Every. Single. Vehicle.

They installed one of those speed signs on hollywood blvd.
Lasted about 2 hours before someone threw a brick through the display.
Seems are locals don’t care for those red light cameras either.
They keep getting nailed with paintballs.
Speed limits signs are only suggestions.
If there is a car on fire in your lane, change lanes.

I travel route 22 east from Pa. TO n.j. The speed limit before the bridge over the Delaware is 25 mph with the same kind of blinking sign posted. If you don’t go at least 40mph you get run over and 50mph is a little better.

Even the school zones here are higher than that (but subject to strict enforcement).
