In the 1940's and 1950's there were no Interstate hiways. Nearly every road or hiway was two lane....much of it very narrow. In Tennessee and several other states the speed limit through towns, communities, school areas, etc. was 30mph or less and when one drove out of the area a sign to let them know they were through the restricted area stated, "Please Drive Safely" In other words there was no speed limit.
Any substantial trip of 50 miles or more would show at least one roadside sign which boldly stated, "Repent, Jesus Is Coming Soon"
Route 58 from Kingston, TN to Chattanooga was such a route and there were no less than 5 religious signs along that 80-90 mile drive.
Guess What Folks.........He didn't come and the signs have essentially disappeared. Is it possible that folks have changed their minds or is it that if they put up such a sign they will have to take it down.
