I was driving home from Auburn, Alabama, when I came across this.

This was one a road next to the highway about 10 miles north of Birminham. I can't think of any reason why they would have to be this specific in a speed limit.

It's more athoritative. I'd go 29 in a 25 but if I saw this sign I'd be careful not to exceed 27 mph.

Well, maybe 25 mph stopped up traffic, but 30mph seemed too fast, so they bumped it up 2 mph so people could run the speed limit +5, and not surpass 30mph too bad, therefore keeping traffic flow safely around 30 mph, instead of 30-35 mph??

Yea, that must be it. I was even terrified to drive on the road because I thought it was a trap.

I figured it might be as it's so strange although I've never seen it before.

Were you in a private community/development? This gated community I was in had a limit of 14MPH for whatever odd reason, looked very similar to state speed signs.

Yeah, the law is the devil.

No, the Iluminati made the law. They created it to control the minds of millions of Americans so they can unleash the nuclear apocalypse upon us.
