You should check with the road authority because they might be fake.
One day I was driving down a road that I'd driven down many times when I spotted a new speed limit. It was posted in a weird location and the speed was odd.
I contacted the local main roads department and learnt that they didn't know about these signs. The next day they were gone.
Agreed, having a minimum speed sign on a stroad is just begging for pedestrian deaths. It would be such an obvious liability that nobody in charge of transportation would allow it.
Every municipality has a minimum speed limit so you can’t just have someone driving 1km/h down the road creating a rolling blockade. Most are posted on the entrance into the municipality.
There are reasons for both sides to have and not have specific laws.
I'm a traffic engineer and I've literally never heard of such a thing (except on freeways).
In Georgia it's illegal to travel 15 or more under the posted speed limit, including on non interstate roads, unless otherwise posted.
Edit: getting downvoted for saying facts about my state. Yall are weird
Must make turning corners, parking and dealing with hazards a wild experience.
In Sweden it can be illegal to drive too slowly. You're not allow to hinder trafic and should follow the speed limit. At the same time we have tractors and vehicles that are only allowed to drive in 30km/h but they require a special sign on the back to signal to other people that it's a slowly moving vehicle.
It's however incredibly rare that anyone gets a ticket for driving too slow.
Also, they have to move off the road if space permits to let piled up traffic overtake, at least in Austria.
No it isn't.
There isn’t a set value. You can see sources below.

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.
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.
Where I’m from it’s just 20 less than the max. Conditions apply but that’s because they reduce the max
I believe in Denmark the rule is just not to be a nuisance in traffic. I'm not sure a lower limit is that necessary.
Freeways/expressways around me are 45 mph minimum. They are normally mounted below the limit sign.

But I have seen small tack on signs that are the same in most regards.

Supposedly minimum speed limit signs do exist in California? No issue with checking anyway, I was curious is all
That can't be common. And I've definitely seen minimum speed signs that persisted for years so I don't find them suspicious at all
This is 100% to make the city unwalkable
Jesus. That Chevy is right up that guy's ass.
Welcome to driving in America.
Tbh I have no idea why so many people in this country tailgate. Do they not understand simple physics?
A relative of mine rear ended someone and couldn't understand why they were at fault for the accident. Just kept saying the person in front of them just stopped out of nowhere and there was nothing they could do.
People just don't realize they're supposed to give that much distance to the person in front of them. You're supposed to be able to stop without hitting the person in front of you if they, for any reason, stop without warning.
In my area the driving manual only discusses stopping/following distances for the commercial drivers license, not the standard drivers license
Sorry for running over your child, ma'am, but rules are rules.
I know here in Brazil there's a minimum speed limit on highways of 50% the max, but there are no signs, and it doesn't apply in heavy traffic.
That has to be a misprint or a photoshop. There is zero chance of a minimum 30 mph (or kph) inside city limits, especially with a perpendicular entrance/exit right there.
Maybe the installer didn’t notice it said minimum haha
Not photoshop, you can go there and see it.
WHERE
Bethesda, MD
So you have a highway through the middle of your 'town' that is actually a large city.
No??? This is just on some random side street.
Then it's a mistake.
Source: I literally have a degree in this shit.
slow down to stop at traffic signal
car explodes like in speed
Pretty good shot for going that fast
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.
