OT: 11mph Odd site speed limit ?

Jethro_uk · 2017-08-23T15:01:42+00:00

Driving through the M6 roadworks I noticed that there were signs for the site speed limit (i.e. where the work is being carried out) that were for 11mph. Struck me as an odd number ... SWMBO suggested it was to prevent moronic drivers mistaking them for road speed limits. But apart from the placement, the colours were completely different, so I doubt that. Anyone know any better ?

I sent about 3 seconds trying to think of something that would be 11d. Or 11/- would have done. And I guessed eggs. Wrongly it appears... I don't even like them.
