SPEED: The face of safety

A friend reports that, while driving near West Grove, he encountered a traffic sign that not only flashed his speed but also frowned at him for (slightly) exceeding the limit.
I asked for details about this new wrinkle in policing.
"It was a smiley face but with an upside-down smile," he said. "It's not going to give anyone nightmares."
I was on that road on Sunday, driving under the speed limit, and spotted the sign. For a moment I was tempted to deliberately evoke the frownie-face, but my better judgment kicked in immediately.
