Where slow down and speed limit signs are used

Owners of a cul-de-sac put one at the entrance so drivers coming in from the main road slow before children on bikes reach the curb. Farm families post a private road speed limit sign near a barn lot where tractors and trucks share the gravel. HOA boards set them at the start of a neighborhood loop, and a driveway owner may add one at the gate where a child might run out. The sign states the expectation before a car reaches the first house.

Choosing the size and where to hang it

A road entrance or loop where cars pick up speed suits the 24 by 36 inch size. A driveway or yard edge suits the 12 by 18 inch size for a quick, close reminder. Keep parked cars from blocking it. Reflective aluminum fits a road driven at dusk, and plain aluminum fits daytime traffic. Plastic is light, so zip ties through the grommets keep it from flapping in a breeze. Before you post a speed limit on a road the public uses, check your state and local rules.

Questions about slow down and speed limit signs

Can I post a speed limit on a private road?

On your own private road or driveway you can post a sign asking drivers to keep to a speed; it is not the same as a public speed limit set by law. On public roads only the road authority can post speed limits.

How do I choose between the two wordings?

Slow, children at play suits a street where kids ride bikes or play near the road. Private road speed limit suits a road where you want drivers to hold one set speed. Both use the same board and colors, so pick the wording that matches what you want drivers to notice first.

Will a speed sign slow people down by itself?

A sign sets the expectation, but it does not stop speeding on its own. Many owners pair it with a speed bump, a narrow entrance or a plant bed that narrows the lane. Check from the driver's seat that the sign stays in view as the car comes around the bend.
