This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Maybe brush up on your traffic laws dude
Kansas allows ANY municipality to set specific minimum road limits… look at that!
Again, can you provide a municipality or even a state that doesn’t have a minimum speed law? I’ve even made it easier for you.
I don't think that you understand how 'slow speed as to impede' IS NOT A LIMIT.
See law A, see law B if they want to specific.
And yes it is a limit, if you’re impeding, you’re below that limit. Some places also have adjustable signs to account for these potential scenarios.
You seem to fall in the category of people that need specific posted limits, since the concept of variable speeds seems to be lost on you. Just because it’s not posted on a sign, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist… shit take dude. Read your legislation, as well as the legislation of any places that you plan to travel too. Because you will be surprised by them amount of mundane shit you’ve missed and could be breaking the law without knowing.
And ignorance is never an excuse dude.
Reread your original post. You stated that the minimum speed is posted at the entrance to every municipality. These people are saying that they've only ever seen minimum speed signs posted on highways. Maybe that's what you meant, but your post sounds like it's posted on local roads all over the place.
Reread my post, I said most post it there, there is a lot of personal accountability to know the rules of the road of places you travel too.
And your defense is that one exists so another can’t…? Shit take.
So post a few pictures of minimum speed limit signs at entrances to municipalities. Everyone else is saying they’ve never seen that (outside of highways). Nobody is saying there isn’t a minimum, just that it’s not commonly posted.
No ones brought up the specific signs until now? Everyone has been saying there isn’t a minimum. Read the conversation? Who’s asked for a sign?
Way to put words in my mouth. I wasn't defending anything.
I was pointing out that the reason people started arguing with you is because you said that they're posted on the edge of municipalities, and they said that they've never seen them visibly posted anywhere that wasn't a highway and asked for specific places where you've seen this hapoen. You then switched to arguing that they didn't believe that minimum speed limits exist at all.
You're straw-manning.
But, since you accused me of making the same argument, for your information, I used to drive for a living. Everywhere obviously has minimum speed limits, but where I live, they're only posted on specific roads where they differ from the norm. Most people could probably go their entire lives around here without ever seeing one that wasn't posted on a highway alongside the signs saying that it's illegal to ride a horse down the highway. We don't have signs that say, "Welcome to the town of Smithston, minimum speed limit is 15mph." The minimum speed limit is statewide, except in cases where a town deems it necessary, which is usually specific roads, not an entire municipality.
I love that you linked the exact proof that you're wrong, and still keep holding on. That is absolutely not a "Minimum Speed Limit." I really don't think you understand what "Speed Limit" actually means.
