Photo Hunters: Unique/Funny Sign

Published by at 3:59 pm under Photo Hunter,Photography

What’s so unique about this sign?

Usually speed limits are posted at 10 mph, 15 mph, 20 mph and so on. Rarely can you find one that says 9 mph, don’t you agree? :) Actually the person-in-charge did that on purpose, hoping that drivers will take a second look and really do slow down.

Edited to add: This speed limit is located in a housing community that’s why it’s super slow. :)

Thanks for visiting my . Have a great weekend.

    Very unusual. I don’t believe that I’ve seen one under 15 mph.

    ha! What a fabulous find for this weeks theme. Very funny.

    I have to say, I’ve never seen one like it. It’s a good idea though, because I’d certainly take a second look if I passed it.

    that is a strange sign, why not 8, or 7???

  5. # Carveron 25 Apr 2008 at 4:38 pm

    I’ve never seen a 9 mph sign. Great idea.

    Oh that’s painfully slow!

  8. # napaboaniyaon 25 Apr 2008 at 6:25 pm

    That would take some time to reach one’s destination I guess!! :P

    That’s a great idea and it gave you a great opportunity for this theme. Have a great weekend Blur Mummy

    cool find! though of course some drivers just might not agree with me. :D
    happy weekend!

    Woo, this is fun :)

    That’s really unique, even strange. I agree-maybe they did that on purpose. OS people will need to double take and slow down.

    Most places you get a ticket for going slow, as equally as for going fast… I can imagine the wear on brakes going only 9!

  14. # Coreyon 25 Apr 2008 at 9:53 pm

    oh my….I think it is a great idea. I would take a second look as well.
    happy weekend.

    I do not know the conversion to Kilometer but I got a booked for driving at 60km/h. That’s crazy. It was like a slow turtle. :P

    not 8 or 10 or you are busted

  17. # archiearchiveon 25 Apr 2008 at 11:57 pm

    Here in Australia I have seen signs for 5 Kmh (3mph) – inside elderly village precincts. Being overtaken by OAP’s and their zimmer frames is disconcerting! 9mph is definitely odd!

  18. # Floon 26 Apr 2008 at 12:31 am

    That would make you do a double take, so I guess it works :)

  19. # Hueyon 26 Apr 2008 at 1:27 am

    It’s not quite the same as we have here. Like Criz, ours is 60km/h or so. :D

  20. # Lizon 26 Apr 2008 at 1:48 am

    That is very slow! A good idea to make people notice though.

  21. # grahamon 26 Apr 2008 at 2:08 am

    better to get out and push :lol: great sign!

  22. # eastcoastlifeon 26 Apr 2008 at 2:53 am

    That’s too slow! I would rather walk. :)
    I admit the person behind this sign is creative.

  23. # HOOTIN' ANNIon 26 Apr 2008 at 3:31 am

    I could NOT do the speed limit. No way.

    Mine’s posted…stop by and see if you can figure it all out!!

  24. # Lynnon 26 Apr 2008 at 3:44 am

    I hope that when the drivers see it, they follow it. :)

  25. # Chikaion 26 Apr 2008 at 4:18 am

    it’s indeed unique! hehehe! tfs!

    mine’s up HERE. hope to see you there! :)

    I’m sorry my comment disappeared and my url went in. weird.

    I love the header. Happy Saturday. Funny sign. A whole nine not ten. LOL

  28. # pearlon 26 Apr 2008 at 6:27 am

    he must have a thing with the number 9 probably…hehehehe. Nice one ;)

    Pearl – happy hunting

  29. # CrAzY Working Momon 26 Apr 2008 at 6:51 am

    Hah…very clever. I’ve never seen a 9MPH sign. Great idea, though.

    Happy Hunting!

  30. # Karen of Sillymonkeezon 26 Apr 2008 at 10:19 am

    Is it even physically possible to drive that slow? LOL!!! Great PH photo!

  31. # PowersTwinBon 26 Apr 2008 at 10:37 am

    A great sign for every community! My photo hunt is up! Please visit!

  32. # Sandyon 26 Apr 2008 at 12:47 pm

    Good one

  33. # girasolion 26 Apr 2008 at 4:02 pm

    I don’t think anyone could get away with saying they didn’t notice the speed limit with that sign. Great choice!

  34. # rachon 26 Apr 2008 at 4:19 pm

    I’ve never seen one for 9 before!

  35. # Dawnon 26 Apr 2008 at 6:16 pm

    OMG, that is too slow, but a good one for the theme.

  36. # Barbara H.on 26 Apr 2008 at 7:01 pm

    That’s a great one — it makes you look twice because it is not what’s expected.

  37. # sammawowon 26 Apr 2008 at 7:19 pm

    Great take on today’s theme with your sign! But I would have a hard time driving that speed!

  38. # Sandy Mon 26 Apr 2008 at 8:32 pm

    Great sign, but wonder why they picked 9. Interesting.

  39. # tigerfishon 27 Apr 2008 at 12:08 am

    I hope that don’t cause more accidents as people may be distracted in their second look :O

  40. # jams o donnellon 28 Apr 2008 at 5:12 am

    That is an unusual limit.. I hope it works

  41. # jesieon 28 Apr 2008 at 4:58 pm

    I have never seen a speed limit that slow. The slowest I have ever seen was 15 mph.
