After years of blowing past all signage I just tried to actually obey the 20km/h and then the 5km/h up the ramp to the drop off area.
20km/h on that straightaway feels comical and the folks behind me were visibly annoyed. The slowest I was able to drive up the ramp asking me to do 5km/h in first gear without stalling was 8km/h.
I would like to see someone at BC ferries demonstrate this being done and tell me with a straight face that 5km/h is reasonable
That’s 3mph for you americans
Not sure the point of this but what car do i need to buy in order to remain complacent? Because my 400hp car cannot drive uphill at 5km/h


Check the Staten Island Ferry.
TSA has posted signs telling people to drive at 4 1/2 miles an hour.
Because 5 mph would be insane.
And just in case you were thinking that it was an exact measurement translated from metric.
4.5 mph = 7.24048 kph.
I want to see a photo of a 4 1/2 sign. Because i’m practicing my geoguessr skills of course :)
Not quite what you wanted, but an interesting example of silliness and the ferry.
