Speed
Sorry, not what you thought...
In Oregon, it seems to be the only place where the signs say, i.e.,
SPEED
65
as opposed to every other state, where it will say "SPEED LIMIT", with the posted limit.
Is there any legal significance to the Oregon way of doing things? Is there another state that does the same thing? I always find the OR signs to look odd, still.

Hawaii's the only state I can think of where I've seen minimum speed XX signs on the freeways.
