A speed limit sign requesting vehicle speed remain below 14-1/2 miles per hour. It does not appear to be a "regular" street sign, but instead something posted by the Elders Pond condo/apartment group (it's their street).

I drove by this a number of times before I remembered to bring my camera and GPS, each time wondering:
* exactly where that fraction would fall on my spedometer;
* whether a cop could pull me over for doing 15.7 mph;
* how long they grumbled about those speed demons doing 19.8 mph before they decided to put up the sign;
* they clearly failed significant digits in math class;
* just plain "why?!?"
So picky, so pointless, so funny!

NOTE: If the silliness of the sign is not appealing enough, there's a Sonic restaurant nearby -- stop and get a burger :)
