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.

The only stop sign where rolling through real slow is probably fine
Legally speaking, it's not DOT compliant and unenforceable. So you don't have to stop at all. And if you want to, you can actually file a complaint and have it taken down. Traffic control signs must be approved and provided by the city/county.
Anecdotal: I filed a complaint when neighbors erected a speed limit sign in our neighborhood and put a camera on it. They were told to take it down or it will be forcefully removed and they'll be fined for the time and labor involved. It was removed about two weeks later.
How do you presume to know what legal jurisdiction this sign is in?
Are you for real? Was it a homemade sign? Share a pic if you have one. Just super curious
This happened about 4 years ago. I did sit and think about where I would have a copy of this photo. I couldn't find it. That said, yes it was a homemade sign. Wooden post, speed limit said 15 and it was overall about half the size of a real DOT one.
Well sounds like one strange neighbor lol
Lots of neighborhoods have a nosy neighbor that always get into everyone's business or tries to police others. Grateful I no longer have to deal with someone like that. If you've never dealt with someone like that, I hope you never have to.
