Then there’s an aggressive driver who sees that and realizes it hammers home the point that the yellow speed signs (vs the white ones) are not enforceable.
And an enforceable sign could never be a weird number because speedos don’t have ticks but every 5mph.
The first time I drove in the US I came up to a turn with the yellow speed sign. I was going faster and I could feel my car strain to not go off the road. This is to this day the second scariest thing I've experienced in a car.
After that I 100% followed the yellow signs.

I have to know! What was the scariest thing?
Going past a line of cars that were backed up and going like ~10 km/h and some guy in a pickup truck suddenly decided to force his way into the line and hit a car so it jumped into my lane by a meter or so. Only time I have ever needed to perform the moose maneuver we are taught in driving school :P
I was lucky there was no car in the lane to my right.

Disneyland famously has a 14mph speed limit for their property. They do this both to get your attention, and because the tram moves at 14mph (because 15mph requires seatbelts).
