100 km/h

Not 100 either.

Incorrect guesses: 70, 80, 90, 100 km/h

50? I can see the sign on the hydro pole but it's a bit blurry. :)

Ah shit, I didn't notice that. Nor did I think they'd put two signs so close together. (But it makes - probably nobody drives 50 here). You're right.

This is Derry Road in Mississauga, more specifically in Malton.

Every time I see Malton, I briefly think it's a typo of Milton. :-D

Next one is again in km/h, ending in zero.

Why do you people keep going higher?
Could it be 60 km/h?

Nice, you got it! This is on Highway 6 in the 60 zone in Puslinch, ON. It goes back up to 80 just around the bend (GSV link).

Great! I guess it's my turn then.

This next guess is in KM/H too, and also ends in a zero. Good luck everyone!

These guesses are not correct either!

So far we have 80, 90, 100 and 110 all as wrong answers.

Guessing 60 since I can't see it being 130+

Webny guessed it right, it's 70! Well done, it's your turn now.

Nice, I was sure hoping it wouldn't be any lower than that!

Darn, too easy. I actually considered going grayscale so that people might think it was a two-lane road, but I wasn't sure if that would be considered cheating.

So yes, this is a repeat of 70, on US 15 in PA. But the difference is, I would imagine 70 km/h feels slow on A-7, while 70 mph feels plenty fast here :)

I like that your url is .es :)

I'll do one in mph for a change of pace:

That's because I used the maps link from the previous post :D

I really hope that this is not any lower than my guess of 45 mph.

Sorry, not 40 or 45 mph.

Seems like a sharp curve for 70 mph, would prefer 60 there.

Perhaps an advisory speed at most.

I encountered an area on I-79 south of Washington in the same state that drops from 70 mph to 55 mph a mile in advance on each side of a 50 mph curve. How much would it have been to leave the speed limit 70 mph, and sign an advisory, then to drop for 2 miles then go back.

No compliance and everyone still maintained 75-80 mph until the curve. The "55 mph"  on the speed limit vs. "70 mph"  made zero difference.

Using my probably inaccurate method of coming up with a curve radius of approximately 2550 ft and estimating a superelevation of 4% and plugging those numbers into this tool courtesy of NJDOT, I come up with a safe speed of 72 mph.

For the current image, I will guess 55 mph.
