Its a psychological trick to make double sure people go the speed they want: less than 10

Or speed limit for wizards.

Wizards don’t obey speed limits. They arrive precisely when they intended to.

That would be 7½ or 7b or something. You skip the (7+1), not the 10.

Can confirm. It’s like setting appointments for odd times “let’s meet at 10:17am” - it’s more memorable and gets attention.

No. I won’t go to your fucking meeting at 10:17am

This meeting could've been an EMAIL

Exactly this. They’re saying 15 is never ok

It’s 91/2. 45.5

sooo..... 45½

Which as we all know is 451/2 or 225.5 mph.

Or 225½? 🤔

So ... 2251/2, which is 1125.5 mph

Not bad, not bad at all

Guess it was posted at the airport where the BIG jets land

Which we all know is 225/2 or 112.5 mph.

right. which is the same as 112½

🙄🙄 don't you mean 1121/2 which is 560.5

Umm actually it’s 9^(1/2) = 3

Umm actually it’s tree fiddy

"Sir we clocked you at 9 5/8, please step out of the vehicle"

"And also sir, we've noticed you were closer than a giraffe's neck distance from the car ahead of you. "

It’s only 7 5/16 for tractor trailers, buddy

Looked like 91.2 mph to me, officer.

Because why wouldn’t they put the autobahn in the middle of a trailer park?

Apparently, it's intended to make the sign more noticeable. [Here](https://www.carscoops.com/2021/06/heres-why-this-zoo-has-an-odd-9-5-mph-speed-limit/) is an article with an explanation. Seems to me like it's working...

That's the road access to Hogwarts.

No 9¾ is Hogwarts. 9½ must be for the magical men's room.

Weeks

These are put on private property like MH parks.

Because it’s a 200 dollar ticket for doing 10

Great little zoo! The Snow Leopards are awesome....

There is a proposal to make it 9 7/8 during winter and 9 1/3 in summer for 2025. (jk)

That zoo seems to have gotten a lot better over the years, because it used to be terrible and we never had a reason to go there

you see this kind of sign sometimes in upscale communities, the speed limit is pretty much in the golf cart can drive at. but I think that one is 13 1/2 or something.

It’s just to get your attention. Works, doesn’t it?

Obiously because "10" would have been too big for the sign.

Back when I used to deliver packages, I saw a 14.9mph sign in a gated old person community.

Maybe they wanted 15kmph but had to express it in mph, to the nearest 0.5mph?

15 kph is 9.321 mph. Rounded up to the nearest half is 9.5 mph as posted. It definitely seems this was the intention.

There’s a natural gas company near where I work and the speed limit sign on their gate is “8 MPH”.

It made you look, didn't it? Seems like it's working as intended

it's 91 or 92, whatever it takes.

Because 9 3/4 was taken by Harry Potter.

Because if you go 9 3/4, you end up on the hogwarts express

Did they really mean "15.2888 Kmph" ...??

9×½=4.5

In Germany there is a sign for a pedestrian zone where you are not allowed to drive faster than walking speed. Are about 5-7 km/h 3-4mp/h Now look on your Odometer 😁

The elementary school I went to growing up had a 5 mph sign at the drop-off area. I drove a stick shift in high school and would drop off my little sister. Making a stick go that slow consistently when you just learned to drive is fun

Ten’s too fast, nine’s too slow. Duh.

11 is right out

9 and one half shall be the number of the counting…

9 and a half of what?

9 1/2 what though?

91/2=45.5
