Holy cow, I was intentionally low-balling. I thought 40 or 45 was the actual answer. The median made it tough.

I will post something soon!

Massachusetts low-balls speed limits.

Not quite, but a very reasonable guess.

Hmm. Anything below 30 seems unlikely...

45 mph?

Still not quite! But you're on to something.

That is correct!

West Valley Hwy in Tukwila, WA. Also known as WA-181. Most surface roads around here max out around 45, but this one is 50. It eventually widens out to a seven to eight lane arterial.

(GSV is from around the bend facing backwards, as that is the nearest sign).

I had a really good guess at where it was (if not the exact highway, at least the country)–so I just checked the speed limit along that stretch of highway.

Is it the E20?

I'll guess 45 for this one, but my gut says it might be higher.

There are also sections of E4 with this unique 1-2 lane configuration.

Correct, sir!  Here is the location in Andover, KS (just back a few yards).

Nice! I figured skipping 50 might be a mistake, but glad I took the flier on 55. :biggrin:

I'll post the next road to guess shortly.
