Speed limit billboard in Milwaukee takes different approach in reminding drivers to drive within limits

American law enforcement takes their speeding regulations quite seriously. After all, these people don’t want American citizens to become just another statistic in the growing number of deadly roadside accidents happening all over the US.

As such, some towns have gone to great lengths to ensure their speed limits are carefully enforced and those wishing to violate them should know the steep price they’re likely to pay.

The Elm Grove Police Department in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has thought of a new way to remind drivers regarding the perils of haphazard driving. Going against the trend of laying out the punishments for would-be speeders, this department has come up with an ingenious way to keep drivers from pushing the throttle, and what better way is there than to remind them just how much money they’ll spend in hospital bills when they tow the line of the speed limit.
