^ It would hardly be a first for the city to attempt to sow confusion to generate revenue. It's no different than the fact that the same handful of red light camera intersections always make the most money year after year. If safety really was a concern, the city would look at the stats, draw the conclusion that drivers are confused/uncertain, and put up more signage to get them to slow down. But they don't because that would stem the flow of money.

(And whenever I say this, someone always pipes up "well durrr if they don't want to get a ticket they should drive the speed limit", missing the point entirely)
