Slow Down There!


I recently noticed this sign at a large construction site in San Francisco.  


SPEED LIMIT
9.5

Am I the only one who finds this a little strange?  I mean, really, Nine And A Half Miles Per Hour?

Why?  

Why not simply 10 mph?  Or maybe even 5 mph with all that heavy machinery.

If someone can explain this to me, I'd love to know the reason for such a strange speed limit.

I do enjoy finding unusual signs, as I have shown you before in a many-years-ago post.  Not sure if that indicates I'm a detailed-oriented person, or maybe just weird.  But that's me!

  1. LOL! Maybe it is a weird speed so that people will actually pay attention and be more likely to follow it?
