Description: To maximize the chances your package will arrive before Christmas, please order BEFORE December 5 Fresno County California speed sign. Up for sale today is this Fresno County, California sign, cautioning motorists to keep to the speed limit of 30 miles per hour, as there are no speed cops to enforce it. A few municipalities tried this tactic in the early days of the automobile, as some budgets simply did not allow for full-time speed cops to be on staff, and Fresno county was one such place. The town's Board of Supervisors had a novel idea to moderate the speed instead: post this sign and appeal to their citizens' better natures. It remains to be seen how effective that strategy was, but given that the city does now have traffic enforcement officers, one can assume the sign did less to curb speeding than originally hoped. Made to the exact standards as used along the roads in Fresno County at the time. An original of these is very rare to find scrapped. So here is your chance to own an excellent display piece, without chancing legal trouble. The sign is flat printed on heavy gauge steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It weighs about 17 pounds, 3 ounces. the freeway signs in use in the field were much more colossal - this one is a precise rescaling of the freeway style sign down to a much more manageable 45x15 inch size. it is a non-reflective sign - perfect for ordinary display, indoors or outdoors. (if you would like a larger size version, please ask as I can certainly make one!) This is a high quality, heavy steel sign. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close! I can of course make these signs with any route number of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from bygone eras. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. "Life doesn't happen along the interstates.
