This amused me, but it just might have some value:

Good idea, if not new. Prefacing the roundel with the word "TRY" would be appropriate here.

What about the other 6 days of the week? Pointless.

I can see the point of this one, if they just added more signs that would be there all the time after a couple of weeks regular users of the road wouldn't notice them, it would be just background. This way with them only being there one day a week it should make them more noticable for longer.

Hardly. It shows the residents care, and by implication disapprove of excessive speed past their homes. That works on a lot of people who are basically OK but thoughtless. It might also make said residents consider how they drive in other people's localities.
Won't have much effect on passing earwigs though?

Given peoples' penchant for numbering their wheelie-bins, one house might end up with the lot if they get a dustman who's either thick or has a sense of humour!

Experience suggests that speed enforcement requests from residents results in..........a lot of the residents getting speeding tickets. (Including significant numbers with '30 max' stickers n their car).

..a lot of the residents getting speeding tickets...
Happened in commuter belt Surrey a few years ago.
The good folk of Sutton and Cheam were up in arms over speeding drivers on their doorsteps.
Police eventually had a crackdown and nicked a load of drivers, and the overwhelming majority were from...Sutton and Cheam.

I'm not sure an earwig could even hit 30 (how much would it cost to hire out Knockhill for an afternoon?)

In our area, it's every fortnight for household rubbish with garden waste in between.
However, the point does seem to have been missed by most people that wheelie bins are emptied in most towns and cities over the course of a week - so each day a large proportion of the streets and roads would have the signs on display.
