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.

Where are these municipalities?
These are US signs and this isn't a thing anywhere that I have traveled to across the US other than the 40 minimum on some interstates and highways.
Every municipality has some form of minimum speed law, do you want me to list every single one? You even provide an example of places they are used… and want to argue they don’t exist…? What?
Can you provide an example of a place without any minimum speed laws?
In Kansas, every single street that isn't a highway, and most highways don't have minimums.
Outside of Kansas I have never personally seen them posted on anything other than highways either.
I have seen general traffic laws about not impeding traffic by going unreasonably slow, but no posted minimums.
In Ohio it’s always 20 less than current max, they just teach you it in drivers ed rather than posting it
So nobody from out of state is informed of this law?
I’m sure you’ll be informed if you’re driving unreasonably slow. But as far as I can tell it’s similar to other minor but uncommon state by state traffic violations
Maybe brush up on your traffic laws dude
Kansas allows ANY municipality to set specific minimum road limits… look at that!
Again, can you provide a municipality or even a state that doesn’t have a minimum speed law? I’ve even made it easier for you.
I don't think that you understand how 'slow speed as to impede' IS NOT A LIMIT.
See law A, see law B if they want to specific.
And yes it is a limit, if you’re impeding, you’re below that limit. Some places also have adjustable signs to account for these potential scenarios.
You seem to fall in the category of people that need specific posted limits, since the concept of variable speeds seems to be lost on you. Just because it’s not posted on a sign, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist… shit take dude. Read your legislation, as well as the legislation of any places that you plan to travel too. Because you will be surprised by them amount of mundane shit you’ve missed and could be breaking the law without knowing.
And ignorance is never an excuse dude.
Reread your original post. You stated that the minimum speed is posted at the entrance to every municipality. These people are saying that they've only ever seen minimum speed signs posted on highways. Maybe that's what you meant, but your post sounds like it's posted on local roads all over the place.
Reread my post, I said most post it there, there is a lot of personal accountability to know the rules of the road of places you travel too.
And your defense is that one exists so another can’t…? Shit take.
So post a few pictures of minimum speed limit signs at entrances to municipalities. Everyone else is saying they’ve never seen that (outside of highways). Nobody is saying there isn’t a minimum, just that it’s not commonly posted.
No ones brought up the specific signs until now? Everyone has been saying there isn’t a minimum. Read the conversation? Who’s asked for a sign?
