Thu 1 December 2005 - More roadsign silliness

Not as bad as the last one, but still…

50 sign and Stop sign

This is the end of a 40 (school) zone, and is at the bottom of a hill at a T-junction. Assuming you’ve been travelling along this road at the 40 limit, why on earth would you speed up to 50 just before you have to stop at the junction?

It’s not even as if the road at the junction has a 50 limit. It doesn’t — it is 60. So the 50 limit shown here applies only to a few metres of road, and it’s where you would be slowing down to stop, thus going well below 50.
