Odd sign about driving speed "not faster than a walk," as well as rules on livestock. Average walking speed is about 3.1 miles per hour.
This sign refers to a time when the bridge was used to transfer livestock from one part of the city to another. The sign reads:
"$5 fine for driving over this bridge faster than a walk.
$25 fine for driving more than 20 head of horses, 50 head
cattle or 200 sheep, hogs or goats over this bridge at one time."
The bridge is a historic truss bridge. It is currently used as a bike path in Folsom, California, over the American River. It is also known as the Donald W. Alden Memorial Bridge. It was built in 1893.
