[Tagging] Roads with no speed limits

[John F. Eldredge]

One city street here in Nashville, TN, USA went several decades with no 
speed limit signs at all.  Then, one day, it suddenly had "Speed Limit 
30 MPH" signs every few hundred feet.  My guess is that someone 
successfully argued their way out of a speeding ticket, stating that 
they weren't violating the speed limit because no speed limit was 
posted, and that the court, and/or the public works department, decided 
to make sure that no one else could use the same excuse.
