I hope that's not MPH? Needs some person doing something in the scene or a blurred car or someone getting a traffic ticket or something....

I think for a subject such as this to be effective, you have to be very creative in your angles and point of view of the shot. As it is, the house and the signage are about equal in sharpness and brightness so there is no separation between the two. While it does indicate that there is a law, it doesn't really make a "statement" because the message doesn't "pop" out of the photo. I'm giving this a 5 for effort.

this is fine for the challenge, and i'm betting your scoring will break down like this: a 5 avg (mainly 5s, mixed with some 4s, but more 6s) from those who bothered to really look at it, then a lot of 3s and 4s from those who don't. the trick to scoring higher is to grab the voters attention, then keep it. here, a higher perspective that would really focus in on the road painting would have done that. i don't know how safe it would be, but if you had somebody else driving, you could stop your car in the road and climb on the roof or hood to get that higher perspective. unfortunately, here, it is laying too flat to be seen immediately, when you really need it to jump out a grab attention.

Interesting framing and I like how I can just barely make out the forty on the road. The cozy that act as a backdrop for your image speak to the security that rules offer.

Pity you could not get the traffic branch cop skulking in the bushes (as they always seem to be) as well... If this is not somewhere in Queensland I will eat my hat! (preparing salt to add to hat now)
