Now this would be an interesting legal challenge. The official wording will vary by state but it'll be something like
"a person must not, when the sign is in place on the highway, drive or operate a vehicle on a highway at a greater rate of speed than that indicated on the sign for that category of motor vehicle, unless another sign on a specific highway in the defined area so indicates"
So... can you really be faulted if there's a not-obviously-fake speed limit sign? If I got a ticket for that I would definitely be disputing it.
- LeifCarrotson 7y agoThey literally unbolted the 25 mph signs and dumped them in the ditch... I think there was still a "speed limit reduced ahead" sign. You'd have a pretty easy case, I think, the only defenses would be "there's a sidewalk here so that's typically 25" and "you drove here before so you should remember it's 25".
