A fake speed limit sign popped up on a Houston street. Who is responsible? No one knows.

Many speed limits are arbitrary and useless.
A good example is one where I live where they changed a 50km/h to 30km/h. There have never been any accidents or complaints by people that live here. The real reason? So people would be inclined to stop at one of the bistros.
I don't know how many times I've been wanting to paint that 3 into 8.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
A road near me added obnoxious speed bumps in an industrial zone that was already reduced to 50km/h solely for the gambling seniors to get to the RSL (Returned Services League, a glorified casino for seniors/veterans), again built in an INDUSTRIAL ZONE with frequent semi-trucks.
