It\u2019s not a typo.<\/p>\n

One Wisconsin<\/a> county has set one area’s speed limit to 17.3 mph in an eye-catching move aimed at jolting drivers into staying alert in a high-traffic work zone.<\/p>\n

Officials in Outagamie County rolled out the unusual speed limit at the county\u2019s Recycling and Solid Waste facility, where a constant flow of trucks<\/a>, contractors and residents creates a busy and sometimes hazardous environment.<\/p>\n

County leaders say the oddly specific number is intentional \u2014 and psychological.<\/p>\n

“Why 17.3? Because it makes you pause. It makes you look twice,” officials said in a social media post announcing the change. The goal, they say, is to snap drivers out of “autopilot” and force them to pay closer attention to speed and safety<\/a> while behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

The site sees steady traffic from large hauling vehicles and smaller passenger cars, often moving in tight quarters.<\/p>\n

The county believes the unconventional speed limit is a small change that will get drivers to slow down, stay alert and watch out for others.<\/p>\n

Whether it catches on elsewhere remains to be seen, but for now, 17.3 mph is turning heads in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

“Worked last weekend when I was there.\u00a0Made us laugh,” one user replied to the post.<\/p>\n

Other users, however, were skeptical of the move.<\/p>\n

“Sounds like something outagamie would do,” another user wrote. “Plus you\u2019ll get speeding for 17.4 and impeding traffic at 17.2, everyone gonna be paying up.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
