A fake speed limit sign popped up on a Houston street. Who is responsible? No one knows.

Interesting that the drivers didn't notice the "increased" speed limit. Either it wasn't convincing or people don't pay enough attention to speed limit signs. Probably the latter.
Speed limit signs don’t determine how fast people actually drive, road design does.
Exactly!
People in Houston generally drive 30mph above the speed limit anyway so this is just business as usual.
(I hate it by the way. Houston drivers are so incredibly dangerous. It's absolutely insane.)
I sympathize, but I honestly think that anywhere that's that car-dependent has reckless and aggressive drivers. It's why I get so frustrated with drivers that insist that bike lanes, transit, etc. will make traffic worse - it would literally do the opposite by taking cars off the road.
