    Haha, I imagine that's either a cross between a load limit and speed limit (4.8T on a low limit sign?) or a really bad unit conversion. It's not enough a round number of kph. :D

    Submit it to TDWTF.

    Ha, that's awesome.

    Perhaps it's Tesco Value speed signs?

    I'm assuming that is for diggers and heavy machinery and stuff. Most cars speedos don't even go lower than 10 I think.

    Hmm... seems like it could be a clever psychological technique to make people pay more attention (which would seem to work :)). Cheeky.

    In this case probably just an inappropriately precise conversion of 3mph into kph though :(
