Guess the speed limit challenge

Read these rules before participating:

This is similar to the bridge challenge, one person posts a picture of a road and people try to guess what the road's speed limit is. After you guess, if you get it wrong you cannot guess again for another 12 hours or within 5 other guesses. If you violate this rule, you can't post the next picture- anyone else can post a picture. If you guess the speed limit you post the next picture. The picture can be a real photo or just a screenshot from GSV. You have to reveal if it's mph or kph, and if it's kph you have to say if it ends in a 5 or 0. The speed limit has to be divisible by 5. Also, if you guess correctly, you have 48 hours to post a new photo before someone else can go to ensure the game moves forward.

I'll start:

I had considered a game sort of like this, but with guessing what road it was.

The issue with speed limits is that there's a very limited number of answers, whereas guessing the road could have any number of answers.

However, it would be tough to allow GSV with guessing the road, because you can usually see the road name.

Continuing on with guessing both the location and the limit:

H.E.B. Turnpike, speed limit 75?

For this one, I'll guess both: I-95 in Massachusetts, speed limit 55 (confirmed while I was typing this... so never mind...)
This challenge is a fairly easy one, but not all challenges have to be difficult (Road sign UNO is pretty easy). GSV can only be posted if the name can't be shown. Mostly I created this so people could post roads with strange speed limits that could take a couple of guesses, but people can post whatever they want.

I didn't intend for guessing the route to count but guess it if you want, but it won't count for anything more except brownie points.

Makes sense. However, "Yankee Division Hwy" is visible in the post you started with.

Not sure if it's readable, or if it's just my confirmation bias. Will keep that in mind. Photos are better for sure.

It's definitely readable if you click on it!  :D

Continuing on with guessing both the location and the limit:

H.E.B. Turnpike, speed limit 75?

75 was the limit at the time of the photo being taken, but it is not currently, so I am going to say that is incorrect.

I know Oklahoma's turnpikes have recently gone from 75 to 80, so I'll go with 80.

Scott5114

80 is correct! Location is actually H.E. Bailey Spur going westbound, just before the only exit. Going the other way:

Normally I'd say darn, but in this case, since I don't have a picture to post and wouldn't have been able to post it now even if I did, good! :D

Since I'm up next, what's this speed limit?

Rules question: I had an incorrect guess yesterday, so per the rules, I can't guess again for 24 hours. Does that only apply to that picture, or can I guess again if we move on to a new picture?
