There is only one speed limit sign that is obstructed by trees, and I was floored to discover that the speed limit is 20 MPH–it’s 35 on every other street in New Orleans. I work on Morrison and was pulled over about two blocks from my office, and the officer was already writing out the ticket before I came to a complete stop. He was very polite and helpful, however. He clocked me at 30 MPH but the ticket does not state the fine, which means that you have to take a day off from work to go to court to pay the fine. I believe the fine was $175 (it was about 6 months ago), which is excessive when you factor in the lost time at work for going to the courthouse.
