bdub77: Yeah. That's not legal.

Par for the course in Florida, though.

It's completely legal, numbnuts. Might wanna get a refund on your GED in law.

All states (and some towns) have default speeds. E.g. "Welcome to the town of Dumbfark. Speed limit 30 unless otherwise posted"

I don't need any help getting speeding tickets. I'm all over that.

All states (or is it national law) have laws that say if there is no speed limit posted, the default limit is xx. The tickets are just a sweet money grab for your safety.

If my ex wants to have sex over the speed limit, she has to put a bag over her head.
So maybe that's a logical conclusion.

/my ex should not be having sex.

My soon-to-be-ex is now wondering why I'm laughing my ass off.

Real Americans would have willed their eyes to see through the bags. Now they'll be getting sodomized in jail and it's their fault because they did crimes. Don't want to get buttsexed? Don't do a crime!

Yes, it's a dick move to NOT allow people to drive 55 in proximity to construction workers. They're just minimum-wage Mexicans anyway, right? Who cares if they get hit and killed, you have to get your precious snowflake to youth soccer, right!?!?

I have never seen such a sigh in PA, OH, or WV, or in any town I've driven to.

It's usually not posted. It's just a local default.

I know highway workers get hit more than they should but is it really the speed of the cars that causes most of those accidents?

gwydion56: What, you couldn't read the sign because we put a bag over it?

You can reverse engineer the street - measure the dimensions, figure out the traffic flow, and look at the streets around it, and then consult with the state DoT guidelines to determine what the range of speed limits is, and then pick the lowest one. If you can't be bothered to spend a few hours doing basic civil engineering research before getting on a road, well, there is just no helping you.

get your nationalities right. they're in florida, so they're cuban!
plus, we all know that road crews don't actually do anything. (most of the time)

I've seen those signs in North Carolina, nowhere else though.

I believe that here in Virginia, that if its a construction zone on a highway, the default is 45 mph, unless otherwise posted, non highway? 25, unless otherwise posted. and either is well coned off for a half mile in either direction, with a trooper idling there with lights on waiting for someone to mess up.

anywhere else in the country? unless it is the high dessert, I'm assuming the speed limit is 65mph on a interstate and 55 in urban areas.


this shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

now, I will admit that I have not read the article yet.. if the great state of Florida was just randomly bagging signs and pulling folks over arbitrarily.. then yes.. fark 'em. but, as said before, ignorance of the law is a defense against the law... citizen. you will pay your fine and go about your day.

Not a defense...

dang Friday night beers....

I've been through that zone. They have temporary speed limit signs up on the "Construction Zone - Men Working" signs. The "regular" speed limit signs are bagged, but there ARE speed limit signs posted.

A speed limit sign covered in a plastic bag is just about as useful as this sign:

Here in Ohio, any unmarked state route (important distinction, local roads don't count) has a speed limit of 55. There's some ridiculous psuedo-legal guideline for determining "unmarked" that involves counting telephone poles. Which probably makes no difference whatsoever, because I'd guess less than 10% of the population is actually aware of this default. Unmarked routes get speed limit signs really quickly after someone going 55 hits someone who is going 30 because they can't figure out the speed limit.

However, covering speed limit signs with bags and then not replacing them with a revised sign is BS. Nice work, Florida!

Seen the "default limit is..." sign at colleges only.

IIRC from my drivers ed class many moons ago here in Fl. default for residential is 30, everywhere else is 35 or 45 for major thru way. If major thru way has lots of traffic and stop lights, back down to 45.

And, according to a buddy who is a LEO (not a cop, an officer of the law - he's one of the 1%) anything less than 6 over is a warning anyway, they can't write a ticket for a fine, just a warning. So when in doubt, 35 to 40 won't get ya in trouble....

They do this quite regularly just about everywhere in New Mexico

I feel naked driving without it.

Dead for Tax Reasons: It's a construction zone. Usually they cover up the regular speed limit signs and post construction zone signs and lower limits. If the construction limit is 45, why confuse with signs that say 55 too

No that can't be it, this is a farking conspiracy by the pigs to deprive us of our rights.

PA law is 55 unless otherwise posted. They do have the sign, but only in a few places.

In Texas the speed limit is 30mph if no sign is posted/present. Many states have similar laws on the books.

"But after a tip from a viewer, the 10 News Investigators discovered FDOT was covering speed limit signs with plastic bags -- an apparent violation of federal guidelines"


There's a few attorneys in Florida who are going to be paying their mortgages for the next few months because of these clowns.

Too bad its the taxpayers that have to pay for the corruption of the State Patrol. Hopefully those responsible are fired.

They do the same thing with the speed limit signs at Guantanamo!

What's the big deal? If you don't have enough common sense to know what the speed limit is in a construction zone without a sign to hold your hand and tell you, then you deserve the ticket you get in principle alone.

182: dick move

I have every right to be here as much as you do.

Florida speed limits are set by using the 85th Percentile method - setup a radar gun, clock people for a week, set the speed limit to a value that covers 85% of drivers traveling on the road (not to exceed the maximum speed allowed by law).
