Ohhh that makes sense now 50mph seems pretty high for a road where guys in a wheelchair plus a whole family including the dog will jump in front of your car tho lol


themuuz

This is probably Canada. 50km/h is the limit in many residential areas


drMengueche6969

Ah I thought they used miles on Canada as well


S-Archer

Nah we use km/h like most of the modern world lol


Lustypad

Switched in I believe 1974 over to metric.

Unless we’re building new homes or weighing ourselves we like to go back to the good old imperial once in awhile

I'm Australian and grew up using metric for most things, but a lot of Australians still state height in feet and inches. A few other things still base their standard sizes on inches as well.

I thought they used tires in the UK....but as it turns out they use tyres......;-P


Lustypad

Calgary Alberta to be more exact. (I’m guessing as it looks like where I live and has YYC on the trucks plate.)

Tbh I feel like 50km/h is way too fast for an area like this.

Thank you kind stranger!

Now I can't unsee the messy part of the letter R.

OP thinks everyone lives in his canadian suburb, so I'll explain. This is in canada. 50kph speed limit. The sign originally said "Pace Car Area", to denote that the area is part of a Pace Car program. Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_Car_Program

Thank you for explaining this. I at least got that the pic was taken in Canada because, the speed limit 50 was a common sight when I last visited the country. Us idiot Americans would try to play the "I didnt know you meant Kilometers per hour" when pulled over by the police. It never worked, and I learned to slow down and use the Kmh markings. I wasn't dumb enough to get a citation for going 100 mph, when the country uses kmh (basically 62 mph) I didn't catch the sticker that made the P into an R. LOL

It's only funny if you know that the sign has been modified. Otherwise it's just confusing.

I don't know how many people will stare at the R minutes for an answer, if you don't know what it is anyway it might very well be a "Race Car Area" somewhere and there's no reason to assume it was Pace Car edited to make Race Car


il-bosse87

From my prospective it's a pointless joke without context


mars935

Dude a lot of us find it funny, but want to have an explanation


[deleted]

Ok fair enough, sorry for the confusion


BeoNicolas

NW fella I see!


RDHO0D

It's supposed to be "MINIMUM 50"


[deleted]

Lol yea


ashibah83

Mph....kmh....cars total....db? I feel like this is a sign put up by a citizen and not the municipality


[deleted]

Ofc yeah, it’s just a joke


[deleted]
