Guess the speed limit challenge

[7/8]

80?

That seems awfully fast for that picture! Hope you're joking! I'll guess 50.

Haha, my thinking is that if it's in Northern Ontario, they often use 80 as a default limit since the roads have so little traffic.

50 is correct, and reasonable, on Canoe Lake Road in South Frontenac, ON.

As for my guess, 30 mph?

[jon12791]

I don't have Word on this laptop, so had to do screenshot, save as a pdf, then pdf to jpeg.

30 mph is also incorrect

No worries, just a flag joke I couldn't pass up!

Do you have Paint? That's my program of choice for these games.

[cockroachking]

Could it be 25?

[jon12791]

25 mph is also incorrect

[cockroachking]

Must be 40 then?

[jon12791]

Must be 40 then?

Correct now. This is down the block from my apartment, Route 110 in Chelmsford, Massachusetts west of the Center. Housing development has been crazy fast here. Prior to 2020, (at the time of this Street View) it was actually 45 mph. Mercifully, it was reduced to 40 mph in 2020.

Yeah I really don't see how you could go much faster than 40 there.

Next up:

[sprjus4]

75 mph

[7/8]

60 mph?

[cockroachking]

75 mph

That is correct, on TX-103 facing EB towards Lufkin.

[kphoger]

Yeah, that one was pretty easily identifiable as Texas.  Even at that distance, the crossroad sign was a giveaway.  I'm sure that's why |sprjus4| jumped on it.

[sprjus4]

[MATraveler128]

55 mph.

[jon12791]

75 mph

That is correct, on TX-103 facing EB towards Lufkin.

75 mph without a barrier or a striped median in a passing zone?! That's terrifying! I'll drive 45 mph there and pull over for someone behind me thank you very much.

That's the norm pretty much anywhere in Texas...

45 mph is far more hazardous in that situation, and far more likely to cause an accident.

How about something like this?

[sprjus4]

55 mph.

Correct, a rural 4 lane portion of VA-32 / VA-10 outside of Smithfield, VA.

I would probably avoid a road like that entirely then. The second image is much more comfortable because it has a guardrail and center line rumble strips.
