Look: Wisconsin recycling center posts 17.3 mph speed limit sign

April 29 (UPI) — A brand new speed limit sign posted outdoors a recycling center in Wisconsin is drawing consideration for its oddly particular quantity — 17.3 mph.

Outagamie County Recycling and Solid Waste in Appleton introduced on social media that the brand new speed limit on the center is 17.3 mph.

“Why 17.3? Because it makes you pause. It makes you look twice. And most importantly, it breaks that ‘autopilot’ feeling we can all fall into when driving familiar routes,” the submit mentioned.

“At Outagamie County Recycling & Solid Waste, we have haulers, contractors, and residents moving through our site every day. With so much activity, staying alert is key to keeping everyone safe.”

Jordan Hiller, program coordinator for the center, told WBAY-TV the sign has brought about an surprising “uproar,” however he’s completely happy the response is elevating consciousness of the necessity for security on the facility.
