 New Speed Indicator on Kensington Parkway in Downtown Wilson Faucette - Kensington, MD - 5.21.2021 - 12:27 New Speed Indicator on Kensington Parkway Photo: Wilson Faucette New Speed Indicator There is a new smart speed sign in the area. This one is on Kensington Parkway in the downtown historic district right by Howard Avenue Park. This speed limit sign is only on one side of the street, on the side with all the shops. It appears that the speed limit is 25 or 30 miles per hour. Unlike other smart speed signs in the area, such as the one on Montrose Road, this sign displays a smiley face when you are not speeding. It tells you to slow down when you are speeding. Make sure not to speed! The Town of Kensington Government, and Montgomery Planning do not appear to have any information on the speed limit sign.  What do you think about the speed limit sign? How do you like the smiley face? Let us know in the comments below.
