This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I know here in Brazil there's a minimum speed limit on highways of 50% the max, but there are no signs, and it doesn't apply in heavy traffic.
In Denmark we have a single piece of highway were we have a "crawl lane". It's slightly uphill and outside the lane you must go at least 80km/h. I know it is more common in Southern Europe.
Here in Germany, the Autobahn has a minimum speed cars need to be able to go (60 kph) although it’s not a minimum speed you necessarily need to drive.
However, we do have a dedicated minimum speed sign, but it’s very rare and usually only used in very specific places. The only one I know is a long and windy bridge on the side of a small mountain where, depending on your lane, you need to go at least 60, 80 or 90, I think.
