Found a Minimum Speed Limit sign in the middle of my town.

-Minimum Speed
-Traffic light ahead
Is this even a lawful sign? Or just a shit head city council being cute? I know minimums can be posted on the interstate, but come on, this is clearly a city road.
At first I thought it was in metric… Damn you imperial.
Instructions unclear, driving at mach 30
rest in plasma
In the USA it looks to be governed by the state or whomever owns the road (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_limits_in_the_United_States_by_jurisdiction). I’ve only ever seen minimum speed limits on highways.
Mississippi has a minimum speed of 30 mph on four-lane U.S. Highways when no hazard exists.
Ah! Mystery solved.
I will say a quick search through the article seems to show Mississippi is an exception - most states only have minimum speeds of 40-45mph.
Judging by the proximity of those cars, lots of people here are in violation.
