Photo Hunters: Unique/Funny Sign
Filed Under (Photo Hunter, Photography) by BlurMommy on 04-25-2008
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 PhotoHunt. 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???
I’ve never seen a 9 mph sign. Great idea.
Hahaha too funny!!! Happy PH And thanks for stopping by!
Oh that’s painfully slow!
That would take some time to reach one’s destination I guess!!
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.
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!
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.

not 8 or 10 or you are busted
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!
That would make you do a double take, so I guess it works
It’s not quite the same as we have here. Like Criz, ours is 60km/h or so.
That is very slow! A good idea to make people notice though.
better to get out and push
great sign!
That’s too slow! I would rather walk.
I admit the person behind this sign is creative.
I could NOT do the speed limit. No way.
Mine’s posted…stop by and see if you can figure it all out!!
I hope that when the drivers see it, they follow it.
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
he must have a thing with the number 9 probably…hehehehe. Nice one
Pearl - happy hunting
Hah…very clever. I’ve never seen a 9MPH sign. Great idea, though.
Happy Hunting!
Is it even physically possible to drive that slow? LOL!!! Great PH photo!
A great sign for every community! My photo hunt is up! Please visit!
Good one
I don’t think anyone could get away with saying they didn’t notice the speed limit with that sign. Great choice!
I’ve never seen one for 9 before!
OMG, that is too slow, but a good one for the theme.
That’s a great one — it makes you look twice because it is not what’s expected.
Great take on today’s theme with your sign! But I would have a hard time driving that speed!
Great sign, but wonder why they picked 9. Interesting.
I hope that don’t cause more accidents as people may be distracted in their second look :O
That is an unusual limit.. I hope it works
I have never seen a speed limit that slow. The slowest I have ever seen was 15 mph.
