Is this even a lawful sign? Or just a shit head city council being cute? I know minimums can be posted on the interstate, but come on, this is clearly a city road.

In the USA it looks to be governed by the state or whomever owns the road (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_the_United_States_by_jurisdiction). I’ve only ever seen minimum speed limits on highways.

Mississippi has a minimum speed of 30 mph on four-lane U.S. Highways when no hazard exists.

Ah! Mystery solved.

I will say a quick search through the article seems to show Mississippi is an exception - most states only have minimum speeds of 40-45mph.

Judging by the proximity of those cars, lots of people here are in violation.
