The signs I'm talking about are on Waterloo Street near Shanley, which has experienced increased traffic while King has been closed. They are orange and looked official to me, but Osiris has a point and I can not say for sure they were put up by the municipality. As I understand it, orange or yellow is an advised speed (as on highway on-ramps, for example) and not the legal speed limit. If they were put up by the City of Kitchener, it seems a bit incongruous to me. But, really, 30 km/h is what the speed limit ought to be on residential streets.
There are other signs in this neighbourhood (and others) that are clearly homemade, pleading with drivers to recognize that they're on a residential street where children might be playing. These make no attempt to set a speed limit or look official.
