Signs?? Who reads signs? I see no indication that signs do anything at all. Orange barrels?? What the heck do they mean? Road workers present? Just speed on by....I didn't see anyone. People are plain oblivious or just don't care. From what I see here in east tn. it won't make any difference..... but one can hope.
If the zones are properly set up including reasonable speed limits, I agree.
Unfortunately far too many times, speeds are randomly set thinking the sign will change the speed of traffic (it doesn't). Then people wonder why drivers don't respect the signs.
Signs really are only to help those unfamiliar with the road. I'll give you 10-1 odds, you can't remember seeing every sign on the way to work last Monday (I don't mean can you recall ever seeing the sign but can you specifically recall seeing each sign that day). To expect otherwise is fooling yourself.
