"School days only" is too vague. Tell motorists exactly what days that speed limit is in effect. And you can't assume everyone knows there's no school on weekends, either.

Replace everything below SCHOOL SPEED LIMIT with a QR code and INSTALL OUR APP.

Replace the list of times with a QR code that links to a website with the information and establish a no parking/standing/stopping zone around the sign.

Include a list of pupils with character descriptions (in Series A, of course!) so drivers can look out for those children to avoid.

Replace everything below SCHOOL SPEED LIMIT with a QR code and INSTALL OUR APP.

Isn't that cheating, though? because another app and a QR code are always the worst answer.

Put down painted speed arrows on the road and put a coin meter on the sign that says "stop and pay here to make the speed arrows activate for extra speed"

New York - need more cryptology.

[The_Ginger]

8/16/2026 - What is the best style of mile markers and tenth mile markers?

The ones that are in Clearview and faded.

[1995hoo]

8/16/2026 - What is the best style of mile markers and tenth mile markers?

Ones that don't show miles even when state law prohibits such. (Added "bonus" for getting the abbreviation incorrect.)

I'm pretty sure those have been removed in the intervening years.

Plexiglass clear background with white  numbering

The best style of mile markers can be found outside of tax season.  The folks who dress up in costume and theatrically wave signs advertising local Liberty Tax franchises hone their craft alongside highways by advertising the mileposts.

Electric but they glitch every 10 minutes.

Looks like a gravestone for some poor kid named Miles.

[kphoger]

Six different speed limits for each of the time slots.

Oh, yeah, OK, that's the winning answer.

[kphoger]

8/16/2026 - What is the best style of mile markers ...

The ones that have .99 at the bottom.

... and tenth mile markers?

Are there more than nine of them?

What is the "three-fourths error"?

What is the "three-fourths error"?

And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

This is the first known "crash-prone roundabout" in history, and (true story) is the place where the mule stumbled, Uzzah reached out to steady the Ark of the Covenant, and the LORD sayeth "what did I tell you about touching that" and smote him. It was more of a smite-prone roundabout.

Modern readers take this verse to mean "haha, they thought pi was 3.0 back in the day" which is not correct. Using LIDAR technology, archaeologists located this site in 2015 and it was actually a square, 7.5 cubits on a side, meaning that the actual value of pi in biblical times was 4.

(could you repeat the question please)
