Comment by snooggums@lemmy.world on Found a Minimum Speed Limit sign in the middle of my town.

Where are these municipalities?

These are US signs and this isn’t a thing anywhere that I have traveled to across the US other than the 40 minimum on some interstates and highways.

Every municipality has some form of minimum speed law, do you want me to list every single one? You even provide an example of places they are used… and want to argue they don’t exist…? What?

Can you provide an example of a place without any minimum speed laws?

In Kansas, every single street that isn’t a highway, and most highways don’t have minimums.

Outside of Kansas I have never personally seen them posted on anything other than highways either.

I have seen general traffic laws about not impeding traffic by going unreasonably slow, but no posted minimums.

In Ohio it’s always 20 less than current max, they just teach you it in drivers ed rather than posting it

So nobody from out of state is informed of this law?

I’m sure you’ll be informed if you’re driving unreasonably slow. But as far as I can tell it’s similar to other minor but uncommon state by state traffic violations

Maybe brush up on your traffic laws dude

Kansas allows ANY municipality to set specific minimum road limits… look at that!

Again, can you provide a municipality or even a state that doesn’t have a minimum speed law? I’ve even made it easier for you.

Every municipality has a minimum speed limit

I don’t think that you understand how ‘slow speed as to impede’ IS NOT A LIMIT.

See law A, see law B if they want to specific.

And yes it is a limit, if you’re impeding, you’re below that limit. Some places also have adjustable signs to account for these potential scenarios.

You seem to fall in the category of people that need specific posted limits, since the concept of variable speeds seems to be lost on you. Just because it’s not posted on a sign, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist… shit take dude. Read your legislation, as well as the legislation of any places that you plan to travel too. Because you will be surprised by them amount of mundane shit you’ve missed and could be breaking the law without knowing.

And ignorance is never an excuse dude.

Reread your original post. You stated that the minimum speed is posted at the entrance to every municipality. These people are saying that they’ve only ever seen minimum speed signs posted on highways. Maybe that’s what you meant, but your post sounds like it’s posted on local roads all over the place.

I love that you linked the exact proof that you’re wrong, and still keep holding on. That is absolutely not a “Minimum Speed Limit.” I really don’t think you understand what “Speed Limit” actually means.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
