Speed Limit Signs
HOA boards, RV park managers, campus staff and farm owners post a speed limit sign at the entrance to a private road, a parking lot or a farm lane. The sign states the limit the owner sets, so drivers know the number before they reach the homes, campsites or animals ahead.

Where speed limit signs are used
Owners and property managers put up a speed limit sign wherever a private road passes people on foot, pets or livestock. Three common spots are the gravel lane between a horse barn and the pasture gate, the one-lane drive through a gated subdivision, and the service road behind a school gym where buses and staff cars share the pavement. Limits on public roads come from the road authority, so this sign only covers the private lane it stands on. Its job is to give each driver one clear number before reaching the spot that needs care.
Choosing the size and where to hang it
Hang it ahead of a bend or a blind driveway, at a height a driver can read without stopping. The 12 x 18 in size suits a post along a farm lane, the 18 x 24 in size fits an HOA street, and the 24 x 36 in size reads clearly at a main lot entrance. Aluminum is rust-free and can have 1/4 in holes for screws, so it suits an outdoor lane. Reflective aluminum suits a road that is dark after sunset, and plastic is light for an indoor spot.
Questions about speed limit signs
Can I use this sign on a public road?
Keep this sign on private property. Speed limits on public roads are set by the road authority, not by a private owner. For a private road, driveway, HOA street or lot, check your HOA or local rules before you choose the number.
What number and line should I type?
This custom speed limit sign takes any mph number, such as 5 mph for a campus lot or 15 mph for an HOA street. Private road is a common extra line, and you can type another line such as the community name. The live preview shows the number as you type, so check it before you order.
What size and color fit a private road?
Black on white suits a farm lane, and black on yellow stands out at a lot entrance. Sizes are 12 x 18, 18 x 24 and 24 x 36 in, all portrait. Reflective aluminum shows in headlights at night, so it is easier to see on a dark road.
Does a speed limit sign slow traffic by itself?
The sign shows the number and gives drivers something to follow, but it cannot make anyone slow down. Owners who see repeat speeding often add a second line, such as a line that reads CHILDREN AT PLAY, and keep the post clear of brush so nobody can miss it.
Can I change the number later?
Not on the same sign, because the number is printed onto it. If the limit changes, order a new sign with the new number and mount it on the same post, using the same holes or grommets.
