    Yep... they do those specifically to draw your attention to them so you'll note the speed.

    Mind games.

    You mean they actually do replace them just because they have an unplanned hole?

    I have seen a 17 MPH sign off of I-44 in Oklahoma at the Chandler on-ramp for the eastbound side. It is because people pay more attention to the odd speed.

    I think it was Knute Rockne who would call team meetings at odd times so his players would be more likely to remember the time. It's just so it sticks in your mind.
     
    Suspect Zero and Trucker61016 Thank this.

    Many moons ago in a past life I passed through this town. I remember that strange speed limit and actually somewhere in my old photo collection have a photo of one of those signs. I was working for a recovery company and did a tractor repo several miles north. I never did ask why the strange speed limits, but those websites are interesting.
