It's just an advisory plaque.  Perfectly legal to go faster.

Based on the house there, I'm guessing the owner got that advisory sign when it was being taken down and decided to mount it there because they either thought it looked good there and/or they thought it would be funny.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

What appears to be a drug cartel roadblock in northern Veracruz:

Do these guys look like legitimate police officers?  How about this guy?

Plainclothes policemen...a concept going back decades...

Ha!  Yeah.

I've been through at least a half-dozen official roadblocks in Mexico over the years, and I've never seen one that wasn't staffed by uniformed officers.  Most of them, by soldiers wearing full camo.  And not a single one of them had a uniform half-unbuttoned.

I was looking up a private plane crash in Illinois and came across a County Road 000. That woke up my inner road geek.

Yep.  See it on my phone, but not desktop due to this.

To be clear, I can see it on my desktop computer.  I just didn't see it at first, because I had Globe View enabled at the time.  If you can't see it on your desktop computer, then simply turn off Globe View.

Right.  That was the "this" to which I was referring.
