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:

65 mph?
55?

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.

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.

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

Yes. I-696 west of Detroit specifically. A lot of suburban freeways in Michigan are signed at 70 mph, which is somewhat rare in other states (like Ohio only goes up to 65 mph), and combined with the sometimes terrible pavement quality, thought it's a good one for this thread, well at least for those that don't know what Michigan's roads are like.

I was tempted to give some credit to sprjus4 since he guessed 65 and this has a night speed limit of 65, but the picture was taken in the day, and for this thread I'm assuming "regular" speed limits, not factoring in truck or night time limits, so I kept quiet.

Also, by the way, on my computer, your embedded images don't show up properly, I have to right click and open image in new tab in order to see it.
Oh, interesting, thanks for letting me know - I'll try to fix that for next time. At any rate, it's not 20.

Agreed, I've gotten caught in congestion there a couple times - now granted way more tolerable than I-35 would've been had I stayed on there.
The project covers around 20 miles between SH-71 and SH-45 North, which is easily the busiest portion. The rest should be sufficient with only 4 lanes, though I could see an eventually need to keep going north all the way back to I-35 in the future.
Interestingly, there are some small segments that already have 3 lanes each way, instead of merely tying them in, they are still widening through those areas so those will be 4 each way now. Smart move, IMO.
https://www.txdot.gov/inside-txdot/projects/studies/austin/sh130-sh45-sh71.html
I wonder how many 6-lane 80 mph segments there are in the US. There can't be that many, right?

The recently widened I-44 Turner Turnpike west of Tulsa, OK was increased to 80 mph IIRC.
And interestingly enough, some of those SH-130 segments will have up to 4 lanes in each direction, plus auxiliary lanes in some places.
Great Lakes Roads, remember to post a photo by this evening.

It's part of Fuzhou's second ring road, which is a freeway on part of it. Normally, Chinese freeways are signed at least 80 km/h in urban areas, but this one is an exception, without any 80 km/h segments, and just 60 km/h (like the pic above) or 70 km/h in other sections.

I checked like 3 times to see that I'm not mistaking it for the frontage road's speed (as 60 km/h on the frontage road and 80 km/h on the freeway makes sense), and that the actual freeway's speed limit is higher. 60 km/h is actually the freeway's speed limit. The frontage road is signed at

I-490 is 40 mph (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1514383,-77.6128928,3a,75y,103.23h,76.27t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1ssgWXeRRtLTGFknyUQH03kg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1), would you also say that is absurdly low? It was lowered because of the high rate of trucks tipping over on the curved section just east of the street view.
That is also absurdly low.

Interesting that the speed limit was lowered for the curve, instead of placing an advisory speed. The most well-known example to me for a tight curve is I-90 in Cleveland just east of downtown, with a 35 mph advisory speed and multiple large warning signs, though the actual speed limit stayed at 50 mph.

Technically, there is an advisory speed, it just happens to be 40 mph, same as the actual limit. The distinction I'd make (also being familiar with I-90 in Cleveland) is that this is more a
series of curves. Something about the geometry of
this one in particular (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1488188,-77.6032053,3a,75y,109.85h,77.36t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s_MZK_G9quuP4JbYzQmTsJw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) is kind of tricky to navigate while staying in your lane. I've driven it more times that I can count, and still often feel like I'm overcorrecting/drifting into the next lane over. All the more so in a truck than a regular car, and all the more so at 5PM when heavy commuter traffic is merging in on both sides at once.
In Michigan, that would be 70 mph with an advisory speed. :bigass:
I believe a few Japanese expressways also have 60 km/h limits in sections in the middle of the cities with tight turns and whatnot
Since I guessed the last one, I believe now you can guess mine:

I think I recognize that location, but then again there are so many roads in the Toronto area that look similar that it could be somewhere completely different.
60 km/h?

Alas, no.
As for guessing which jurisdiction an intersection or road might be in, in Ontario, I find that every jurisdiction always has some subtle thing which distinguishes them from other jurisdictions (whether is signal colours or configs, road signs, road design, etc.). By experience, I can usually take a good guess as to where it is if I've travelled to that area a lot. I could dispell some of those once someone guesses this limit if there's interest.

That is the correct answer.
Here's a limit sign after the intersection shown.

The intersection in question, if you're interested, is Queen Street (Peel Regional Road 107) and The Gore Road (Peel Regional Road 8) in Brampton Ontario.

One big giveaway that this is in Brampton is that "Bus only" sign right next to the slip lane, where buses wait before crossing the intersection into the bus stop, if it's a red light. In my observations, only Brampton does that.
But still, Hwy 7 has an 80 km/h limit in Woodbridge until the intersection before Highway 27 (Roybridge Gate).

I was actually looking on the other side of Hwy 27, in the vicinity of Martin Grove Rd/Kipling Ave. So much construction going on on that stretch (in Street View, at least) that it was a bit hard to tell if 60 km/h was a temporary limit or a permanent one!

If I remember correctly, the MUTCD doesn't allow speed limits under 20, thus my "think outside the box" hint on this one. The road is maintained by a homeowner's association (though it is a publicly-accessible road), so they don't particularly care what the MUTCD says.

So I guess that begs the question of what is permitted in this thread. I would have assumed the spirit of the thread would be roads that were set by a local government of sorts. I wouldn't personally extend that to HOAs or shopping center operators, but maybe
roadgeekteen is fine with it.
Now, that said, if someone posts a parking lot with a speed limit of 50: that's cool!

Oh yea they make sure you know it's that low. On a mile long stretch of NY 198 on GSV, I saw 4 speed limit signs with orange flags above them in a single direction, 2 of them have the "Your Speed" indicator, along with a cop on the side.

Ahh! And so close to me, too. I was pretty sure it would be lower than 55, which is why I guessed 50. I even suspected that it might be in NY state somewhere, but figured NYC area, not Buffalo.

Same here. It's such a common issue for me that I've just gotten used to opening the image in a new tab and don't even really think about it anymore.
It didn't show for me. I never had this issue until about 1-2 weeks ago when Flickr changed their default image format to something without a file extension. It's strange, as usually when some people can see photos and others can't, I'm one of the ones that can, but not in this situation.

I used to experience significant difficulty with some images, but after switching browsers, the issue went away (I went from Chrome to Edge -- same underlying code so the transition was easy).
Ketchup99's images are the only ones I can think of, across any thread, that I cannot see without opening in a new tab. Everything else seems to load fine. Before, when I was using Chrome, it started getting to the point where like half the images wouldn't load.

Well, with 60-75 having all been guessed and it having been more than 24 hours since my last guess, I'll try again: 55 mph?
(The dashed lines in the lane that's ending look exactly like PA's, so with the OP being from PA, my thought is that it could be one of their "urban area" 55 mph zones near Erie or elsewhere.)

(The dashed lines in the lane that's ending look exactly like PA's, so with the OP being from PA, my thought is that it could be one of their "urban area" 55 mph zones near Erie or elsewhere.)
Yep! Stayed close to home, US-322 outside of State College, an "urban area." You're up next.

The road is
S 23rd St (https://goo.gl/maps/7hD9tGYszga8MLTV9) in Tacoma. As with all unposted streets in the city, the limit is 25.
Since I guessed the last, here's another one of mine:

Yeah, that was unfair since it only feels like an alley. It's actually a road. Still, in terms of speed limits, alleys, streets, road...everything is 25 unless posted otherwise.

I was pretty sure that was US-97 (or at least a highway nearby), but wasn't totally sure if it was OR, WA, or CA, could fit in with any of those states. I would have guessed WA though since I'm least familiar with WA's segments of US-97, and I don't remember seeing windmills along US-97 in the other states, except near Biggs, OR probably, and since you live in WA. I would have guessed 65 or 60 if others didn't beat me to it haha.

Technically 60 is also correct since, it being Washington, trucks are capped at 60. But I assume this thread is focused on passenger vehicle limits.
Here is a speed limit sign just down from where I posted my link: https://goo.gl/maps/D37mmJoGYqV1mR6Z7

Ah yes, good point. OR does as well: 5mph below the posted limit, above 60 mph (so 65/60 and 70/65).
So it's actually exceedingly common :-D At least on the Pacific coast.

Agreed, not really seen outside the west. Chesapeake and Virginia Beach over here in the east has had certain roadways and some still (that haven't been just fully reduced) posted with either 55 mph / 45 mph truck or 45 mph / 35 mph truck. Usually due to narrow alignment, etc.

It's an artificially low limit, but during rush hours, you won't reach that speed anyway, since it's always backed up (due to the 2 lanes becoming only one lane though this stretch).
Here's the link:

50 km/h
I will guess 60 km/h.
40 km/h
70 km/h
Good guesses but none correct so far. You are all correct in that it is in km/h and a multiple of 10.
Hmmm. With 40 through 70 now eliminated, is it 30 km/h?
Correct, it's 30 km/h (https://www.google.se/maps/@58.4069705,15.5784893,3a,51.3y,227.94h,85.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1spSks5A45CPxw8E_biN54UQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656). There's a dynamic speed bump (the rectangular metal plate between the two bollards) to enforce this. If you go faster than ~35 km/h it lowers itself and creates a dip. They've installed a few at different locations and I do prefer them to regular speed bumps.

I read it differently. Not as a guess, but as a statement, as in "this
would be 50 or 55
if it was in Texas".
However, it's not in Texas. It's much further north. :D
To encourage others: he did say my guess of "45" was "good".

Well, he didn't say 50 AND 55! :-D
How about
5 or 10 or 15 or 20 or 25 or 30 or 35 or 40 or 45 or 50 or 55 or 60 or 65 or 70 or 75 or 80 or 85 or 90 or 100 or 110 or 120 or 130 or 140 or 150 or 160 or infinity?
That covers all speed limits I think.

50 km/h is the correct answer. Usually, residential areas are 40 km/h in this city, but this neighbourhood seems to be signed all 50. I'm guessing that since this neighbourhood had been around since at least 1956 (the earliest aerial photo I can find of the area), it was grandfathered in with the 50 limit.
Here's the limit sign at the start of the road:

West Valley Hwy (https://goo.gl/maps/DfXFnwg6GqKyu1Ge9) 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 (https://goo.gl/maps/7y31j8d8aAMVse5HA).

Darn, was hoping we'd go through a few more before someone guessed that low. :biggrin:
That is correct (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.13662,-79.0210305,3a,75y,347.1h,83.33t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s7y96iwKLL9PYclAUg-L4oQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) - I-190 north of Niagara Falls on the approach to the Lewiston Bridge. It does make sense to slow traffic down before the bridge, but this is absurdly early - still 2 miles to the bridge and 1.5 miles to the start of the US Customs area.
Wow, that is abysmally low for an Interstate. I was 100% lowballing. Didn't think I would get it. Though I was trying to be a little scientific, as I don't remember lots of 50 and 60 limits Upstate (last I was there), and that left me with 45 based on prior guesses.
Another thing I recall from my visit Upstate: there's no way anyone is doing 45 on there. Unless it's really heavily patrolled.
Interstates with limits that low always throw me. WSDOT raised all freeway limits in the late 90s and there are none left posted below 60 (minus the last mile of I-5 in Vancouver).
I will post something soon.

Quote from: kphoger on June 11, 2021, 12:38:05 PM

It's not, but this kind of road is quite common. Speed limit tends to be 100 km/h though. This (https://www.google.se/maps/@58.4444994,15.5151833,3a,75y,138.48h,93.73t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3US3f3NqUU2NkvR8_-zBBw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) is the place, national road 34 just off of the E4.
My guess will be 60 km/h. Those dashes look too close together to be a high-speed road. And an upside-down 9 is a 6, if that was the reason one wouldn't think of.

Good thinking! But luckily it is higher than 60 km/h.

Well, there's no rule that says I have to pick something from NY, is there? :biggrin:
But yes, you are correct on both points. 60 mph is not used at all in NY, and 50 is (to my knowledge) only used on non-freeways.
Also true that no one really drives 45 mph on that stretch. 10 over the limit is fairly standard for all freeways, and this stretch is no exception; traffic usually moves at 55 mph or better.
This section (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1421733,-79.0222016,3a,75y,350.52h,78.91t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slf1_4vjxPaJErv6SGb-_hQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) is uniquely painful, as southbound I-190 is 65 mph and the adjacent roadway, NY 265, is 55 mph. Might very well be the only example of three adjacent roadways all having different speed limits, and certainly the only example of the middle one having the lowest limit!

WSDOT raised all freeway limits in the late 90s and there are none left posted below 60 (minus the last mile of I-5 in Vancouver).
Not coincidentally, a very similar situation to this one! I wish I could say this was the only freeway in NY posted below 55 mph, but I-490 in Rochester is 40 mph, and I believe there are several downstate that are 50 mph, possibly among others.

It was an awful hint in terms of giving away the limit. When I said "extremely close", what I was referring to was the limit in the other direction, just on the other side of the intersection behind the camera car. The limit is 90 km/h north of Willis Rd, 110 km/h to the south. So it was only barely 110.

Why did they lower the speed limit?

Why did they lower the speed limit?
I'm not sure exactly what you were referring to, so I'll answer both possibilities:
* The limit was lowered from 120 to 110 in 2018 following a safety review of all highways with a raised speed limit (follow up of Minister Todd Stone's work in 2014 to raise limits across the province). This stretch had a slight increase in crashes, so they lowered it back.
* North of Willis Road, you are starting to get into Campbell River, so the limit drops from 110 to 90 (formerly 120 to 100).

Correct, this is US-17 (https://goo.gl/maps/wvsHuieQDsHFARDJ8) crossing the Chowan River outside of Edenton, NC.
The speed limit used to be 55 mph across the bridge, then up to 60 mph on the limited access freeway segment east of there. About 10 years ago, NCDOT increased the speed limit to a uniform 70 mph on both the bridge and the bypass.
The speed limit does drop to 55 mph west of the bridge, as the roadway transitions to a four lane divided non limited access highway. In reality, the roadway can easily continue to handle 70 mph travel.

Nah, SH-130's median is much wider.
By the looks of it though, could probably easy hit 85 mph on that road with no traffic around.

Correct (https://goo.gl/maps/Hb5P4ZZAbgNxpFXC9), this is US-17 in southern Chesapeake, VA. It's a rural limited access (with some minor intersections) four lane divided highway. The 55 mph limit is painfully slow, but the city has no plans to increase it any time soon. Traffic actually moves 65-75 mph and enforcement is non-existent.

Virginia tends to sign many divided highways at 55 when they could be 60, like US 17 on the Peninsula.
Unfortunately I'm far too familiar with underposted 55 MPH divided highways. I was just in Cheasapeake last week actually, but didn't use that stretch of highway. One that stood out to me as silly was I-64 dropping from 60 (which is already underposted IMO, though maybe all the cloverleafs make it justified) to 55 at the Virginia Beach/Chesapeake city limits (going into VB), for really no reason I can see. Flow of traffic is pretty much 65-75, so yeah.

Any specific examples of where? US-17 has been 60 mph between Saluda and Port Royal (where it intersects US-301 and then narrows to 2 lanes) except through towns for many years already, and then back in 2019, they increased the segment between Saluda and Gloucester from 55 mph to 60 mph, extending that zone further south about 10-15 miles. The segment between Gloucester and Yorktown is more justifiable at 55 mph (or lower in areas), IMO, due to development, traffic signals, etc.
In all reality, US-17 north of Gloucester should be 65 mph, but 60 mph is more reasonable than 55 mph, and all that is technically permitted under state law. In fact, state law only permitted a 60 mph limit on US-17 north of Saluda until it was changed in 2018 to allow all of US-17 (where four lanes divided) to be eligible. That is what led to the segment down to Gloucester being raised the next year.

Yup, same here, especially in
South Hampton Roads (they bumped an urbanized 8 lane segment of I-64 on the Peninsula from 60 mph to 65 mph back in 2018 - nice, but could they do more?). I know where you're talking about, just before the Indian River exit, and agreed, that whole stretch from at least I-264 in Norfolk all the way to Bowers Hill should be 65 mph. State police love to wait out in that median opening where it drops from 60 mph to 55 mph, but traffic often still flows by at 65-70 mph and they don't bat an eye.
I-664 is what feels like a rural design for most of its course in South Hampton Roads, and is painfully slow at 60 mph as well. Traffic is often moving at a minimum of 70 mph, often closer to 80 mph. Speed limit should be 65 mph there. Same with I-264 in Virginia Beach, wide open 8 lane highway (comparable to that Peninsula segment of I-64 they bumped to 65 mph), 55 mph, universally ignored.
The city of Chesapeake maintains both the VA-168 Chesapeake Expressway freeway and all of the US-17 expressway / freeway south of I-64, which has led to the 55 mph limit not being updated to at least 60 mph (should be 65 mph on both). The city changed the ordinance back in 2015 to allow 65 mph to be posted on limited access highways maintained by the city, with plans to implement such on VA-168, but did not carry forth with a speed study because it would be a "waste of money". The city acknowledged the speed limit was universally ignored in discussions when making this decision, and felt it wasn't necessary to remedy it if it's "not an issue" now. I suppose the city's non-existent enforcement on both corridors help it be less of an issue - it's not necessarily a speed trap per se - and when city police is present, they're often moving 70+ mph as well without batting an eye. But I still feel the city is not being appropriate conducting the needed traffic study to examine conditions on both corridors and update the speeds accordingly. Speed limits should be posted to reflect 85th percentile conditions - which the city has said about city roads in general and the whole spiel about how too low limits can cause hazards between slower and faster drivers, etc. and it just makes me wonder - then why haven't you even bothered to study VA-168 or US-17?

Most of US-441 is 45 MPH through the park, which on the mostly 2 lane curvy road actually feels fine. But this wide open stretch at 35 is a head scratcher, even by national park standards. Probably because it's right near the visitor center though.

Putting the above two pictures and their speed limits in juxtaposition is probably the best argument for a whole scale re-think of speed limits. It should be based on more objective standards.
^ You're not wrong, but in the first picture, advisory speeds on the curves are essentially taking place of the speed limit (which is likely hardly posted). And in the second one, national parks are kind of known for their low speed limits, which I can't really argue with too much, since their primary purpose is for accessing the park, not through traffic.
As for my guess for the previous picture, 50 MPH.

Were non interstates capped at 55 before the increases?
I'm not sure. I know part of Oregon's issue for a while was that the truck speed limits were written in state law as 55, and normal speed limits weren't supposed to be more than 10 over truck speed limits.
I always thought US-26 was just a revenue builder for Washington County.

Every single non-interstate in Oregon maxed out at 55 before the increases in 2016. (I'm not sure what they looked like pre-NMSL). Now we have quite a few at 65 and US-95 at 70. But the way the laws are, I believe ODOT couldn't raise any more of them, even if they wanted to (which, they probably don't, which is another issue). It would have to go through the legislature. Not a good setup.

I'm not sure. I know part of Oregon's issue for a while was that the truck speed limits were written in state law as 55, and normal speed limits weren't supposed to be more than 10 over truck speed limits.
I always thought US-26 was just a revenue builder for Washington County.

Were non interstates capped at 55 before the increases?
I think so historically. At least that's the reason why IL 5 was upgraded to I-88; to raise the speed limit above 55.

Yes.

SDOT lowered most speed limits to 25 in 2020, including many major arterial roads. (Google maps still has it at 30)

Well done, yes. BC-17. I would probably just say Surrey as it's south of the Fraser River.
It's largely a fast road but it dips pretty good through this industrial stretch. I think because of the railway crossing. Basically everything from the ped bridge in the above image to south of Tannery is 50, while everything else is 80 or higher.
Needless to say, it's not even remotely observed. I've gone through here at 100+.

Yup, it's US-17 Dominion Blvd (https://goo.gl/maps/njBmacpDuKFBXrDT9) in Chesapeake, VA.
The roadway was recently widened from a 2 lane roads to a 4 lane divided highway / expressway, and built to full freeway standards just north of this location. The entire project has a design speed of 60 mph, but due to the "traffic signals" and a "school" (that's not even directly on US-17 - the highway is limited access), the city refuses to post anything higher than 45 mph on this stretch. It's universally ignored, and everyone does 55+ mph anyways. The speed limit is 55 mph on either side of these two signals, and even then should be higher there (that's where people go 65+ mph).
If the speed limits were realistic, it would be 55 mph through here, and 65 mph everywhere else on US-17. And the traffic signal excuse is BS, given there's other roads in the city with signals and a 55 mph limit.

This one's interesting because 50 isn't all that common on state highways in Idaho (though it is very common on county roads). The only major example of 50 on a rural state highway I can think of is US-12 towards the Montana border. A majority of the time in the state you're more likely to see 55 or 45. Even across the border (WA-272) it's 55, and having a highway be straight up higher speed limit on the WA side than the ID side for no obvious reason is pretty odd, as speed limits are generally higher in Idaho.

That was my first thought as well. Almost universally, Idaho has either (a) the same limit, or (b) a higher limit. To have a lower limit for no clear reason seems really bizarre.
I wonder if it's like WA-410 in Sumner, posted at 55 instead of the Seattle-norm of 60 for freeways. Best I can tell, these roads are basically just forgotten when everything else was increased.

I have a sneaking suspicion it's 60, but that was guessed so I'll guess 90.
I guess I'll take 100.
If I recall correctly, that road was only built in the late 2000s when the Golden Ears Bridge was opened, right? Or at the very least, was an upgrade of the existing road. Either way, 80 km/h would be more appropriate.
This is in km/h.
It is divisible by 5.
(https://i.imgur.com/PAwiL8j.png)
Hmm, let's go with 80.
I'll go with 60 km/h.
That was a bit overly specific saying "It is divisible by 5", so I'm going to go a little odd and say 55 km/h. Can't say I've seen any x5 km/h speed limits anywhere I've been, but I'm sure they probably exist somewhere.

Good job picking up on the hint hahaha. I put it in because I foresaw that nobody was going to guess such a number. It is indeed 55 km/h, which I was surprised when I first came, given that the OTM (Ontario's MUTCD) specifically says that speed limits must be in multiples of 10. But then again, OTM doesn't appear to apply as strictly on non-MTO roads.
This is Long Sault Parkway, a scenic parkway west of Cornwall, ON, maintained by the St. Lawrence Park Commission.

I was writing out a "concerned" reply when you posted the picture. That's very interesting.
Are you sure Ontario permits limits not divisible by 10? Even on non-MTO roads? I would think it would be a statutory requirement.
Here in WA, speed limits are legally required to be in increments of 5 mph (https://apps.leg.wa.gov/Wac/default.aspx?cite=468-95-045#:~:text=The%20speed%20limit%20shall%20be,use%20since%20the%20last%20review.). Ergo, all limits not divisible by 5 are not real limits and you should instead go whatever default limit might otherwise apply.
Good on doorknob60 for picking that one up, or else we may have been here for a while.

Ergo, all limits not divisible by 5 are not real limits and you should instead go whatever default limit might otherwise apply.
Here's a link to a 2000 edition of the OTM, relating to regulatory signs.
https://inps.net/graphics/sites/default/files/pdf/MTO-Book-5.pdf
On Page 35, you'll find this:
"All maximum speed signs established by Ontario Regulation or municipal by-law must be shown in units of km/h and in multiples of 10 km/h, e.g., 50 km/h, 60 km/h, not 55 km/h. "
However, OTM isn't always followed on non-provincial roads from my experience, especially when it comes to guidelines for guide signs.
I looked at provincial legislation, the Highway Traffic Act and I found no mention of increments of speed limits.
Interesting, I figured I was on to something with the x5, but the 55 specifically was definitely a lucky guess. I went on the lower side because I thought it looked like a park, guess that worked.

Here is the location (https://goo.gl/maps/rFpFvPQqUo9bH1ux7), and–from looking up and down the road in GSV–I gather that the city took the sneaky approach of simply not posting
any speed limit signs along the road. I mean, unless I'm missing something, the closest thing to speed limit signs are yellow diamond warning signs that say "CROSS TRAFFIC AHEAD".

Here is the location (https://goo.gl/maps/rFpFvPQqUo9bH1ux7), and–from looking up and down the road in GSV–I gather that the city took the sneaky approach of simply not posting any speed limit signs along the road. I mean, unless I'm missing something, the closest thing to speed limit signs are yellow diamond warning signs that say "CROSS TRAFFIC AHEAD".
Yup, that's exactly what they did. Most people probably assume the limit is something in the 40-50 range, and drive accordingly. But in reality, if you wanted to drive down that road at 65, nothing the cops could do.
That's what this thread is for. Good one, Ketchup99.

Totally off topic but I have a quick question about the signals. How common are red orbs (and also yellow orbs in this case) used for protected only lefts in CA instead of red arrows? I know it's a 3M PV but I've seen plenty of them with all arrows elsewhere and I didn't think CA used orbs for lefts.

I think they're older signals that haven't been replaced. Red arrows for protected lefts haven't been that widespread before the 2009 MUTCD I think.

Oh no no, quite the opposite. On the West coast at least, red arrows have been very widespread for decades (though not in every state).
That said, the earliest protected lefts in California used 8-8-12 signals: 8-inch red and yellow, 12-inch green arrow, all post-mounted in medians (one near-side, one far-side). There would have been a period where they transitioned to all 12-inch signals and partial overhead mounting, but where not all faces were left arrows. It did not take long before all-arrow signals became the norm. This intersection is fairly unusual and I suspect it may have been one of the earlier overhead conversions.

I didn't know that. I didn't see my first red arrow traffic signal in Missouri and Illinois (back then my two most visited states) until a year or two after 2009, which is why I think they weren't widespread before that.
I drove MA-3 from the Cape to Boston two weeks ago, and it looks vaguely familiar. So I'm going to go with 60mph.

Yup, it's the VA-164 MLK Freeway in Portsmouth, VA.
It's honestly underposted, it could reasonable handle 55 mph. The freeway increases to 50 mph further north past the Midtown Tunnel split, then to 60 mph once in the West Norfolk area of Portsmouth.
This segment of elevated urban highway is relatively new, just built in the last 5 or so years. It was the last piece to complete the freeway between I-264 and I-664 that started in the 80-90s.

Of course, I literally drove on that freeway in June. I was looking for that exact spot in GSV last night and I guess I was looking in the wrong spot, probably farther north, because I didn't see one that looked right so I gave up looking, but that highway was the first thing that came to mind when I saw your picture. I remember driving on it, going like 55-60 after the tunnel, then later down the road seeing a 45 sign, and thinking, "wait, was the speed limit supposed to be 45?". I'm disappointed I second guessed myself, would have been cool to confidently say 45 and link to the spot :biggrin:
Anyways, here's mine, in MPH.

Not 60
Something tells me it might be lower than you'd expect, especially with the narrow lanes and non-existent shoulders, so I'll guess 30 mph.

Nice guess! It's Sunset Blvd in San Francisco: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7352131,-122.4938618,3a,75y,340.51h,78.45t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2eRaC7_oKI0NfFZ1BVEjoA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
I'd probably post it somewhere around 40, mostly due to the fairly frequent signals, but in an urban area like SF I'm not surprised it's lower. What I'm not sure, is what speed traffic normally flows at. I imagine it's much higher than 30.
Haha, nice! I had literally guessed 40 and then edited it to 30 a few seconds later. It's not often I get that lucky! :)
I'll have the next photo in a little bit.
I was thinking it was San Francisco, given the signal design, crosswalk markings, and the lack of left turn lanes. Not to mention the environment. But I couldn't quite pinpoint where it was. I also would have low balled it.
Is it legit to post a backwards facing photo?
I am going to assume so. This one has a giveaway as to what state it's in, if you know what you're looking for.

Northbound traffic generally moves right along here coming out of the slog through Apple Valley (which is basically five miles of

Hmm. This feels a little unfair. Virtually everything in the photo is 45 apart from the three car lengths between the GSV vehicle and the limit sign on the left.

Well, that's why I asked if it was legit to post a backwards-facing photo (and then did it anyway, but I would have changed it if it was ruled illegitimate). Now, seeing as the OP got it right on the first try, he certainly has no incentive to disallow it. But I won't do it again if the consensus is that it shouldn't be allowed.

I don't have a problem with it in general, it's just when the speed limit is different forwards and backwards that's when it can be confusing or misleading. I would say we should be guessing the speed limit of the section of roadway that's prominently visible in the picture.

OK, we are all in agreement then. You can post backwards-facing photos, but the speed limit of the road primarily visible counts as the correct answer. I apologize for jumping the gun, and thank you, doorknob60, for helping to resolve this by giving kphoger your turn.
(If I get another chance to post a photo, I probably
will be using another backwards-facing photo, as it was way easier to use a Street View screenshot that way. Unlike my previous submissions, where I had to black out the road name etc., I didn't have to do any editing at all with this.)

But his "divisible by 5" hint is quite clearly a hint unto itself that the limit ends in 5 (numbers
not divisible by 10), since the game only allows limits ending in '5' or '0'.

I also don't think it can be 110 based on the earlier "divisible by 5" hint. Unless that hint was actually a non-hint.

And yes, I think the speed limit is too low, and something like 50 or 60 km/h would make more sense at that location, even taking in the curve to the left and center lane merge into account.

There's only two reasonable choices left, and I'm probably still going to get it wrong...
95 km/h?
Nope
Remaining numbers: 25, 35, 105, 115
Oh no. As if getting a 50/50 wrong wasn't embarrassing enough, the only thing worse is missing a number entirely. X-(
I thought I was choosing between 25 km/h and 95 km/h. If only I'd seen that 35 km/h was still out there, that would have made my decision a lot easier.
Can we possibly require a rule that for metric posts, the poster must specificy whether the limit ends in 0 or 5?
I only request this because metric limits have about twice as many options (30 all the way to ~140) and it's going to take a lot longer if the metric limit is not something expected (multiple of 10).

Correct. VA-168 Campostella Rd (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.823055,-76.2604512,3a,47.6y,359.58h,83.73t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sX90Lg7WAFXCep7o0jRqZGQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) in Norfolk, VA. I will say from personal experience, nobody is doing 30 mph. The city of Norfolk has 30 mph posted on many roads around and outside of Downtown stretching for good distances in some instances, particularly south of the Elizabeth River. On major arterials like this, and nearby Indian River Rd, the speed limit automatically increases as soon as you enter neighboring Chesapeake. On Indian River Rd, it jumps to 45 mph, and on this, it goes to 35 mph passing through a more developed, residential area (where the limit is slightly more appropriate), then immediately to 45 mph south of there.
IMO, this segment in question could easily be at least 40 mph.
The Campostella Bridge across the Elizabeth River is also 30 mph, where vehicles are mainly doing in excess of 45 mph, many 50-60 mph. The nearby I-264 Berkley Bridge is also 35 mph, where actual speeds are usually above 50 mph.

Can't say that I've really seen them anywhere else around here.
Looking closer, it appears this median fence is only between the two intersections on the Street View. There must have been some issue with pedestrian crossings at this particular location that warranted the fence.

It's hard to make out the scale from that image, how long is that straightaway, that would determine how rational the 25 mph maximum limit is.
I've been on that road the speed limit should be 40 not 25.

I couldn't figure out how to post the initial youtube videos on my own thread, could someone explain how?
You'll want to follow the link above you.
Basically:
(1) get an image link (needs to end in .jpg or .png (others too but aim for those))
(2) paste it in the reply box
(3) highlight the link and hit the image button above and to the left of the reply box (to the left of the globe and below the "B")
Like those YouTube videos, images need to be hosted by a website. The easiest is probably imgur.com.
May be easier to get back to this when you can access a computer.
Given that it has been over 24 hours, I am going to keep this going. SafeSpeeder, once you figure out how to share photos, I'm sure we can slip you in.

There are actually a significant number of nations and territories that use miles-per-hour, mostly due to British or American colonialism (not always though). But certainly none that have regions resembling your picture.

I think Burma switched to metric signs but just did a brute conversion–meaning, for example, that the below is a common thing:

Belize as well. As to whether they're posted, there's no Street View imagery to confirm, so I couldn't say.
I was simply getting at miles-per-hour being more than just two countries, even if it pales in comparison to metric countries.

This has to be a trap question, so I'm guessing 35 in an exurban area.
None of these, but not a trap I don't think. But an unusual situation for Washington, I suppose.

It's US-12 west of Montesano, WA:
https://goo.gl/maps/ePPQPwYvereyB3id6
It is 55 west of this stretch through Central Park and into Aberdeen, but jumps to 60 east of the Wynoochee River while still undivided (although legally it's divided with the 18-inch solid yellow line). But, it goes physically divided shortly afterwards, a little less than a mile after my GSV screenshot. WA uses 65 even on undivided roads, but haven't seen one posted at 60 that looks like this.

That explains why I didn't recognize it. Only been on that stretch heading the opposite way in the dark.
There are a few signs specifically telling drivers to not cross the 18-inch line.

If that's anything less than 65, that's another state on my no-drive list! If it's in tornado alley I could see the lower speed limit as you have to dodge collapsing power towers from the wind falling across the road.
Sometimes exceptions can be made. :hmmm:

Correct, Park Road 22 (https://www.google.com/maps/@27.4924742,-97.2792436,3a,41.1y,36.81h,86.17t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sK3Ded277xFNnqtdzO7wLfA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1?hl=en-US) outside Corpus Christi, TX out on North Padre Island.
Usually, a road like this would normally be 75 mph (or at least 70 mph) in this state, however, for some reason, TxDOT seems to shy around posting anything above 60 mph in these coastal areas. SH-361 further north of here is in a similar situation, same with some roads near Houston (that could at least get up to 65 mph with their environmental limits).
For the record, I've driven this specific road in question, and easily maintained around 70 mph the whole way with no visible reason that would warrant 60 mph. It's a 7 mile stretch in the middle of nowhere, 60 mph just seems tiring. Then again, I've had my fair share of tiring 55 mph both two and four lanes for
much longer than 7 miles being up here in Virginia. It's especially a nuisance when there's little to no traffic around, because I want to drive faster, but I don't want to risk a ticket. So I'll usually just hold around 7-8 mph over which is still a slog, but better than the even lower limit I suppose.

Correct. It's on Liberty Way just east of I-75 (https://www.google.com/maps/@39.3669005,-84.3540843,3a,75y,61.89h,80.98t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1st2SrU1tBjmoMnbHoEx6suQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) in West Chester, OH. The 55 mph section is pretty short. From my own experience, no one drives that fast, but I think it's more of that drivers ignore the only 55 mph sign in each direction than because the road is unsafe to do so. Map of the location below, with the 55 mph section highlighted, numbers at the speed limit sign location, and blue arrow is the location and view of the screenshot I used.

You guessed right, and pretty close on the location too. It's ID-54 just east of Athol heading towards Farragut State Park.

I always find it interesting the differences in speed limits in different parts of the state. Around Boise, 60 MPH is quite rare (it's on I-184 and a small section of ID-55, but that's about it), you'd probably see 55 or if we're lucky 65 on this road. In the North 60 is much more common (but 65 is more rare, though still used some).

I feel dumb for not recognizing that, I've driven on WA-141 literally dozens of times. That said, I'm not looking for a turn in the game here, but I'm pretty sure unless they changed it within the past year (I last drove it in Sept 2020), or maybe they changed it a little earlier than that and I didn't notice last time, the speed limit is 55 there, as it jumps from 40 to 55 leaving Husum, all the way to the 35 zone in BZ Corner. I'm pretty sure the only 50 zone on WA-141 (unless it changed) was north of Trout Lake.
I wouldn't be surprised if they changed it though, because a few years ago they made a major change to the speed limits in Trout Lake. It used to go from 55 to 35 just south of the gas station, but now it drops from 55 to 40 way south of there (south of the school), then drops from 40 to 25 where it used to drop to 35. Which frankly I think is a good change, 25 through town makes sense as there are a lot of pedestrians there at times (I'm sometimes one of them).

Wow, it actually does say that, all the way up to Trout Lake. I sure hope their tool is wrong, I usually average 65 in what I know as the 55 zone there, I'm almost surprised it's not 60 by WA standards, it's a good road. That said, there's not really any cops up there. I wonder if they added a 50 transition zone between the BZ 35 zone and the 55 zone, and accidentally marked the whole stretch as 50 when they updated the tool. Then again, why would they use a 50 transition zone and not 45. I guess I'll need to travel up there again and see for myself haha. Not sure when I'll get around to it though. Not to get political, but my family that lives up there is (mostly?) unvaccinated, so I'm not exactly in a hurry to see them right now.
Thanks for pointing out the road data tool, I'm going to have some fun poking around with that for a while.

Yeah I thought someone might recognize the actual road here, it's a bit distinct, and kinda infamous for its low speed limit lol. 45 is correct. Average traffic speed seemed higher on my recent trip than it even used to be. Used to be many people would push it to the low 50s to try to get closer to a reasonable speed without too much ticket risk. Now, almost everyone was in the 55-60 range. And yeah if you ask me, without question the road should be 55 even as it is (get rid of the silly crosswalks on the south end though, even at 45 they're stupid), and with a few minor changes could be 60 or 65.
Here's the link with the speed sign visible, no longer conveniently blocked by the truck lol. https://www.google.com/maps/@44.0842396,-121.3007739,3a,75y,7.46h,84.72t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sUbr6W2dEn5tAaRkr5XvCaQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

It's interesting, I have noticed a similar uptick here in Seattle too. The upper end of freeway speeds used to be about 10 over, but lately it's been creeping into 15 to 20+ over. Whatever enforcement there used to be, it's largely absent these days.
45 for that road seems way too low, though I know I'm far from the first to say that. Even 50 would be far more reasonable.
Here is my submission. Had to use the signal to cover up the sign:

Lindvig Way in Poulsbo, WA (https://goo.gl/maps/8j5MdC9QBNVcFEm36). I'm not sure why it's posted at 25. Even 30 would be vastly more realistic.
Excuse the smoke, but I guess that doesn't narrow it down too much these days. Non-smoky GSV had too much traffic to see the road well.

You got it, it's ID-55 (Eagle Rd) in Meridian, right near the Boise city limits (counterintuitively, driving northbound here, you cross from Meridian into Boise for a couple miles). Unfortunately, a lot of times people are oblivious and cruise at 45 in both lanes. And when traffic is busy it will be more like 35-40 sometimes.
With the amount of development that's happened along this road in the past 10-15 years in this area that used to be mostly rural, I'm surprised the speed limit hasn't been dropped to 45 or something (see US-95 in Coeur d'Alene), but so far has not happened, and I'm not complaining.

Maybe it's because I'm a Texan, but TX-130 has an interesting ambience that is easily recognizable IMO. The trees are cut back far away from the road, sight lines are great despite the road curving and twisting, it is very hilly, and the median is among the widest you may see. The closest analogue to the landscape I can find is the H.E. Bailey Turnpike, but that road looks nothing like TX-130.

I tend to agree with you here. It actually occurred to me right away that it could be TX-130. I didn't rule it out, but thought it looked kind of Midwestern, while also being more likely to have a very high limit than a very low one, reflected in my guess of 80 mph.

That touches a bit more on what I was trying to say. It's not identical to every freeway in Texas, but nothing stands out about it specifically that yells "130". 130 may be recognizable to those who drive it or have seen it on Street View (even the most mundane roads are somewhat recognizable for those who are familiar with it), but there's nothing truly unique about it. The trees, the curves...it's just a rural freeway that just so happens to be posted at 85!

doorknob's last contribution was the Bend, OR example, which I knew immediately. So rather than steal his thunder again, I decided against revealing it. But after looking through the thread, I realize that wasn't actually his last contribution, so I'm less concerned.
Yep you're right of course. Interesting thing about this, is shortly to the north is a 35 zone, and then shortly after that it's 45. Without too much change in the design of the road, amount of driveways and businesses, etc. Though by that point it is out of the main street grid of Spokane so that could have something to do with it.
If it was up to me it would be 35 due to all the driveways and side streets, though flow of traffic is often probably closer to 40. If access was more limited, 40 or 45 would be fine. Maybe a slight road diet could be in order once the North Spokane Corridor fully opens and make 30 feel more reasonable and make it a more pedestrian and bike friendly street (as it is now without a bypass, car traffic needs to be the priority). I don't visit Spokane often enough to know what traffic patterns might look like after that point though.

It looks pretty busy even in your image, or I actually might suggest a road diet. That's not something I advocate very often, but considering there's no shoulders and the sidewalk is abutting the travel lane, the speed limit probably could be raised to 45 mph if there were proper shoulders and only two lanes per direction.

I think a road diet could actually be in the cards, but only once the US-395 Freeway bypass around Spokane is complete. Until then, N Division (both US-2 and US-395) are routed down it, so it carries perhaps more traffic than Spokane wishes were the case. After all is said and done, I think a proper diet (maybe some bus lanes?) would be pretty neat, and pretty deserved.
I will post my picture right away!

Well done, it is 40 (
Canyon Road, Frederickson, WA (https://goo.gl/maps/u2nEb17hvZEhgboE9)). It is posted as 45 behind this image, but is 40 through the next two signals and then goes back to 45. Either way, traffic goes 55+ easily. Kind of surprised at the guess of 40, as nothing about this road reads "40" at least to me.
40 does seem low, but then again I also tend to associate more lanes with a lower limit. I certainly don't see any reason to lower it from 45 mph for this particular segment though.
The lane dividers instead of traditional striping is also interesting, to me that would suggest a higher limit, not a lower one.

No, the close does not refer to the speed limit being numerically close to 55. Hint: The speed limit refers to the lane prominently displayed in the picture- the pic is backward. And it's not 65.

Everything from 40-65 has been guessed so I'll try 70 mph.

35 is correct. It's the very end of the Lowell Connector. 55 was close because that's the speed limit southbound in the lane not shown. LilianaUwU is up next.

It definitely doesn't need to be as low as 35 across the bridge here. Keeping it at 55 mph might be a bit high given the narrow lanes, nonexistent shoulders, and sidewalk abutting the roadway, but I think 45 mph would be reasonable.
You are up next!
Woah, that is frighteningly low for what seems like a major freeway. 55 may not be appropriate for the roadway beyond the bridge, but I feel posting some sort of transition zone would have been a bit more appropriate. 45 seems reasonable, yeah.

Road in WA (https://flic.kr/p/2mvAEU4) by Jacob Root (https://www.flickr.com/photos/62537709@N03/), on Flickr
I'm going to go with 35 mph, since that's pretty popular on these types of rural roads in Western Washington

That is a very reasonable conclusion, but it's not 35.
Is this in mph?

D'oh! The van made me think it could be a different country for some reason.
I'll try 25 mph.

The Eurovan! Now combined with all of the JDM vans, it does sometimes feel like the Pacific Northwest is a foreign country.
25 is correct!
Freeman Road, s/o Valley Ave in Fife, WA (https://goo.gl/maps/bwkMz9fNQp3NHC5s8) (the view is reversed but it's the same in both directions). Only about a mile south of my previous use of Freeman Road.
Nice! Was a bit hard to tell how dense the area was, but I figured it was slightly more likely that it would be lower than 35 mph given the lack of shoulders.
So the back-and-forth continues... I will let anyone jump in here, as I just went and I don't have anything lined up.
I'll go then, this is MPH.

I could be wrong, but something tells me this isn't a full freeway. So I'll try 60 mph in case it's not any of the above.

You're right on both fronts! It's US-195 south of Spokane, WA. This is a few miles to the north (closest speed limit sign): https://www.google.com/maps/@47.5852148,-117.4035206,3a,75y,187.71h,84.34t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s-2Mkw06yYOrVmq2KNO9GDw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192
That said, 60 is too slow IMO, and even by Washington standards could conceivably be 70 (if US-395 can be even in some not-quite-freeway segments), or even 65, which Washington doesn't use much. I was driving 70-75 through here no problem. I also think some of the 2-lane parts of US-195 could be 65 instead of 60 (which Washington does on some other rural 2 laners), though maybe they've avoided that due to traffic levels, which were light when I drove it but I know can get high because of WSU.
To add to the argument it should be higher than 60, here's Idaho's parallel equivalent ~25 miles to the east, US-95, this time an undivided 4 lane highway, but with a higher speed limit than 195.

Nice! I don't know what it was that made me think it wasn't a full freeway... maybe because it vaguely looks like there's a house/farm with a driveway in the background, or maybe the lack of guide rail and/or reflectors in the median.
I have to agree that it could be higher than 60 mph, but then again it would be 55 mph in NY, so who am I to criticize! :D
I guess I only kicked the can down the road for a few hours by giving up my turn, so I might as well do again. If anyone has one they want to use, they can go ahead. Otherwise I'll have one later this evening or tomorrow.
Let me steal your turn for now because I think this might be interesting (km/h):
(https://i.imgur.com/mhp6vRF.png)
45 km/h
Watch it be some default speed limit of 80 km/h
Does it end or 0 or 5? That's one of the rules.

I'll try 70 km/h.
My bad, it ends in 0.
Unfortunately, 45, 80, and 70 are not correct
60

It should, but the rule actually came about because of an Ontario limit posted here that didn't end in 0.
30 km/h?
Quote from: doorknob60 on September 30, 2021, 10:56:30 AM

That is correct. This is 19th Sideroad in King Township, Ontario. I do not suggest you go 60 km/h due to the road conditions though, not sure why they decided 60 was a good speed.

Yep that's it. It's Shoreline Dr in Boise, ID. https://www.google.com/maps/@43.6164178,-116.2198482,3a,75y,183.42h,77.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sX-X7h_-ZCBwjM8bghMhtMQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
The 20 is widely ignored, it's surrounded by 30 MPH streets and many people use this as a through route. The street is relatively wide and not really designed like a low speed 20 MPH street, so most people go around 30.
I've come around more to the idea of low urban speed limits (I'm not talking about urban freeways, those should be fast), but only when the road design is appropriate (which in North America is rare). As the road is designed now, 20 is too slow. As it is now, I think it should be posted 25 or 30.
^^^ Yeah, I never would have guessed 20 without the incorrect guesses eliminating other possibilities :-D
Next up, we have this one from Canada that ends in 0 (km/h)

This is S Lincoln Rd in East Rochester, pan forward for the approximate screen shot location. It's hard to keep it under 40 mph, much less 30 mph, on this segment under the railroad bridge. You don't usually see a TWLTL under a bridge like this with no turns in either direction for almost 800 feet.
Nice, my first guess in the thread was right! :D

Just decided to go the other direction for a change, as I did with I-90 in SD a while back. That one was more interesting, with everything from 55 to 75 being guessed before the correct answer of 80 mph.

It is indeed 25 and it's through a park. This is VA 161 just north of the Boulevard Bridge toll plaza. Ironically, the speed limit on the bridge itself (which is only 2 lanes and narrow) is 35.

Sounds about right for some of those New York State expressways. I guess they can post whatever they want but I'm not sure I would be going 45! Although I can talk all I want, I know driving a road is different.

I'm not going to be near my computer for a while, so someone who hasn't gone for a while is more than welcome to take my turn.
I guess I'll claim this one.

(Sorry for the bad picture quality...)
I'll start with 45 mph.
55 mph?
45 and 55 are both incorrect, but good guesses.
OK, I'll try again... how about 40 mph?
And I'll try 50 mph :).
30 mph
35 mph?
Sorry for the delay - 30, 35, 40, 50 are all wrong, but also good guesses. Everything from 30 to 55 is out.
OK, how about 25 mph then? Near a small town or something?
I'll go the opposite way and guess 60 mph.

Correct on both counts, as it is urban, and 35 mph is the limit! This is actually just up the road from my last entry...
Mount Read Blvd (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2118687,-77.6593283,3a,88.5y,164.44h,87.66t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4_J9U4JyD4wEGronBoOsbQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1) north of NY 104. Not sure why the limit stays at 35 mph here, as it increases to 45 mph once you get past the next intersection.

Side question:
It seems that the rules for this game require posting pictures of roads with a speed limit that is divisible by 5 in miles/hr or in km/hr.
For those posting examples that are outside the US, how common are roads posted in km/hr that are divisible by 5, but not also divisible by 10?
80, 90, and 100 km/hr are very common speed limits for highways. Are there any examples of 85 or 95 anywhere?
^ Speed limits ending in 5 are rare to non-existent in Canada, although they are more common in some other countries. I recall a 35 km/h one in China in particular that had us all stumped for quite a while.

We've had this issue before. For speed limits in km/h, users have to indicate whether it ends in 5 or 0.
It seems that some places in Canada have limits ending in 5, but I believe most/all provinces technically require limits to end in 0, so you could argue they aren't real, enforceable limits.

Not 60 either.Disregard, it is 60! Nicely done. I did not notice that there was actually an increased limit between the top of the distant hill and where the camera car is. The hill in the background is
50 (https://goo.gl/maps/ySkmTEtzqfeCGCP59), but the area in the foreground is
60 (https://goo.gl/maps/FP3xz3LP9GoPbnm78). So I guess, retrospectively, both of those would have been correct in my book :-D.

Obviously 20 mph would have been the other accepted answer, as that's the truck speed limit here. Both speeds seem very low, but the area is a bit more developed than might appear at first glance.

Fuck... that road is right near my house, and I drive it almost every week. I have no clue how I didn't pick up on it.
The 35mph limit isn't because of development, although there's a little developed area on top of the mountain. It's low because the road goes up and over the mountain, and the grades are steep and the road is curvy. Ditto for the 20mph truck limit, PA has a habit of posting 20 or 30 for trucks on roads like this and Route 144 is no exception.
Still kind of annoyed that I missed that one...
CoreySamson, I'll guess 50 for yours.

Wouldn't shock me if this is in NY or somewhere in New England, so I'll go 65 mph.

In a reverse strategy from the previous entry, I was hoping some lower speeds would be guessed first and that's indeed how it played out. This stretch of US 15, one of my favorites, is certainly one of the more surprising 70 mph zones in PA.
Jakeroot, not sure if you saw this, but you're up next unless you'd like to pass your turn off.
Whoops! I've been awfully busy, but I'll get something posted pronto.

Yep!
WA-518 in Tukwila (https://goo.gl/maps/CFnhkVwSnXieJLCq9).
It feels pretty fast going 60 down the hill, and hitting 60 up the hill is fairly difficult with all of the airport traffic.
The hill, greenery, and light rail tracks made me first think of US-26 west of downtown Portland, example: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.5057861,-122.7619433,3a,75y,102.5h,86.51t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sc5dmuNvhBMTaqIiPfG0s8w!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e2
Guess that's not too far off. The answer would have been 55 or 50 if so (depending on which segment, where I posted the GSV is 55).

Looks like the QEW, so I'm thinking either 100 or 110. I'll try 110.
I was going to say 110 since that looks like the section where they had a 110 pilot. Oh well, 100 for me then
It is indeed 110 km/h, near the western end of the pilot 110 km/h zone outside Hamilton. 110 km/h sign here (https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.2107765,-79.6103198,3a,15y,294.49h,86.02t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s2JYrOcMe-RDLx1nLamAGVg!2e0!5s20211101T000000!7i16384!8i8192) (image is from beyond the overpass).

Yes, the QEW has a recognizable look to me. I can't remember if I've driven down that way since the 110 zone was added, but I might drive it this weekend. Would be cool to see the sign (a slow sign of progress in Ontario :D).

This means your guess is 50, which is correct. This recently reconstructed road has a painfully low limit for its design, and is a favourite speed trap for the cops. Here's the street view (https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.4695165,-80.4576187,3a,90y,264.76h,89.77t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s2hjDWLBfhjuGxTx7b89DjQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192).
I don't know why, since that road could have been anywhere in Ontario, but somehow I had a feeling it was in Kitchener-Waterloo. Strange how one could distinguish even though the differences are so subtle.

Surprisingly, this is correct. This is NE 2 (the road, not the forum user) near Lincoln. Link here (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7568106,-96.6456577,3a,50.1y,300.92h,88.08t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sBvQGLbseL3v9PRfm8ZpCtQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1).
It looked it might be on the edge of the city, which would suggest a lower limit :).
Alright, next up.
This is in km/h ending in 0.

Yes, this is on Homer Watson Blvd in Kitchener just north of the Block Line roundabout (street view link (https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.4195732,-80.4716267,3a,78.4y,328.47h,87.03t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKQqRFfGOylY67WMYnB2pQg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)). The limit goes back up to 70 at the top of the hill.

Yikes, the dreaded Block Line roundabout. Infamous in the roundabout 'circles' :-D. I didn't recognize it right away with that new apartment building. There's a ground floor I'm not sure I'd want to live on.
The limit of 50 up the hill seems odd, but I guess it has to match the limit coming down the hill, which I assume is posted 50 to slow traffic in advance of the roundabout.

Yes, the top of the hill is where the SB directions drops to 50. It seems like an archaic rule to need both directions to have the same limit, but that's probably the case.

Indeed, that's the apartment building I was thinking of. I don't remember seeing it when viewing that roundabout on GSV before. But you're right, the Timmies doesn't even have a concrete wall to protect it!

I agree, it usually makes sense because drivers may not expect two different limits for the same road depending on direction, but I think in some cases, like this, drivers should be able to figure it out and adapt as necessary.
That said, I might also argue that an advisory 50 km/h may be better; I'm not used to seeing actual regulatory speed limits dropped prior to roundabouts.

On GSV, it appears the 50 drops were added sometime between 2011 and 2014. That was during the timeframe when the high school girl got hit by a school bus in the roundabout, so I'm sure the Region added the regulatory 50's as a stronger message to motorists (whether it's worked or not, I don't know).
Here is the next entry: km/h in 0

50 km/h it is. This is Avenue Road in Toronto.
Most arterials in and near the downtown core of Toronto are posted 40 km/h. Avenue Road used to be Highway 11A, and Highway 11 was Yonge Street (basically Main Street Toronto), and that's probably why Avenue Road was built this wide with a higher speed limit - intended as a bypass of Yonge for drivers going into/out of Toronto.
I'm surprised they didn't lower this one because the current mayor (John Tory) went on a speed limit lowering spree, including lowering many suburban arterials to speeds way lower than the design speed.

I guess I'll go with 35, because if it's in Washington, none of the 65 MPH highways there I've been on look like that, they are pretty strict with where they post that. If it's Oregon, it's especially not 65, ha. Terrain wise definitely looks like one of those states. And I'm thinking it's not on the state highway system, local roads can have extra weird speed limits.

It is 35! Well done. Obviously underposted. The nearby WA-202 is of similar design but fortunately is posted at 55.

Yep that will have to count. It's Lake Hazel Rd just outside Boise, ID. My original intention was for the correct answer to be 40 MPH believe it or not, based on 2019 Street View (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.5418313,-116.2679269,3a,75y,102.67h,78.48t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sMbVfyw5QRjULoARigXKoKg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) (which is what the picture was taken from). But it looks like sometime after that image was taken (and since I've driven it myself), they've decided to raise it to 45 MPH. Here's some almost brand new street view I only discovered after posting the image (https://www.google.com/maps/@43.5418743,-116.2679528,3a,75y,102.67h,78.48t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s-3SkXG-x727seYge1MJRXg!2e0!5s20210801T000000!7i16384!8i8192). So I decided to accept either 40 or 45, since today's speed limit and the speed limit at the time of the GSV I took the image from both seem like valid answers.
This road was only built a few years ago, and currently goes through completely undeveloped desert, which is why it looks like a rural 65 MPH highway or something along those lines. But eventually there will be a whole lot of houses and other development along the street, so the 45 MPH will probably be more than reasonable down the line. As it stands now, 45 is underposted, but as the whole segment of road is only about 2 miles long, with a 25 MPH curve in the middle of it, it's not as bad as it looks in the picture (I would do 50 or 55). I would not say the same if it was still 40.

Virtually every road in Tacoma is 25 or 35. Only this short quarter-mile segment, and a few other divided roads, have 40 MPH segments. This road was 35 but was recently (mysteriously) bumped to 40, but only this brief stretch.

Sorry for the late response.
Yes, SH-44 just outside of Alice, TX. A mile or so down the road, the speed limit drops to 60 mph as it enters the city.

Bingo bango. This is TX-6 at the TX 288 underpass.
60 seems higher than I would have guessed. Interesting.

I want to guess 65, but something tells me 45, so I'll go with that.
Not 55 mph, and not 45 mph.
70?

Correct, I-185 (https://goo.gl/maps/XeEGR3y5K5EC4NY46) in Columbus, GA.
Interestingly enough, this segment was 55 mph until about 12 years ago when it was increased to 65 mph, then was further bumped to 70 mph in the last 5 years.
Joe The Dragon, don't forget it's your turn to post the next one.

Are we supposed to be guessing at the time the picture was taken? It's been a while since I've driven this section, but I believe it's still a variable speed limit area. 🙂

For this one, I'll try 60.

It's probably something stupid like 45 mph.
Yeah, seems like it could be a parkway or something, so I'll go 50 mph.
60, 55, 45, and 50 are all incorrect, although all are good guesses.
Looks like some express lanes or something. I'll try 70.
Good guess, but it isn't 70.
40?
Also wrong, sadly.
(Edit: "sadly" does not imply that it should be a 40 zone lol)

What!? I've actually been on that segment and didn't know it was posted at 55 mph. At least there are advisory speeds for all the curves. It's a scenic area that can be very slow in the summer/fall due to the curves, traffic, and nearby trails.

I'm gonna have to go with 25 mph then, I can't see this turn being any faster than 40.
The turn shown has an advisory speed of 15 mph EB, and no advisory speed WB (must have fallen down).
Well then, they can just drive steel side beams into the ground to force the sign in place then :D

What!? I've actually been on that segment and didn't know it was posted at 55 mph. At least there are advisory speeds for all the curves. It's a scenic area that can be very slow in the summer/fall due to the curves, traffic, and nearby trails.
Yeah, I was stunned the first time I was on it heading WB up the hill coming out of Palenville and I saw the sign that said End 35 mph Limit. It also made me laugh seeing climbing lanes, as if anyone can go fast enough to pass another car along any of those stretches.
And of course, as soon as you get to the crest of the hill and the road flattens/straightens out, you are in Haines Falls and it goes down to 40 mph.

It is 55 unfortunately, on NY-24 west of Riverhead. Here is the GSV link.

Drivers seem to agree, since 87% of them exceed 55 mph and the 85th percentile speed in 72 mph, according to NYS data.
Yeah, it is unfortunate that NY does not post anything above 55 mph on non-freeways... although that still might not be as bad as I-495 on Long Island.

The first couple guesses were actually pretty close, but then the guesses got lower, probably because it was clearly near an intersection - which is actually one of two roundabouts on this alternate route around Kalispell. All the other junctions have proper interchanges, but I guess this southern portion isn't quite busy enough for that yet.

1 is correct regarding the "hint". It's a hint for anyone trying to find the exact spot, because you know it has 2021 imagery, and given the greenery and the "n" visible, you could probably figure out that it's from June 2021 specifically.
But a lot of places probably have 2021 imagery at this point, so like I said, it's only a very small hint.

I'm still trying to figure out the hint.
I think it was simply that it was 2021 imagery, and "literally" meant that the corner takes up a tiny part of the screen.
I don't get how that's a hint.
1 is correct regarding the "hint". It's a hint for anyone trying to find the exact spot, because you know it has 2021 imagery, and given the greenery and the "n" visible, you could probably figure out that it's from June 2021 specifically.
But a lot of places probably have 2021 imagery at this point, so like I said, it's only a very small hint.
LOL yes, I don't know of any places without 2021 imagery at this point. Although maybe back east, it's more common. Most everything is late 2021 or early 2022 in my area.

Maybe in urban areas (which I suppose this clearly was), but I'd be really surprised if more than 50% is from 2021 or newer in most rural areas and small towns, especially once you get off the interstates.

The St. Louis metro has early 2022 imagery, so I'm more or less figuring that the larger metro areas have been mapped for at least September 2021. As for the small-town part, not too sure about that (my town has GSV dating to April 2012 :))

Honestly the hint threw me off course, since it made me think it must be one of the relatively new 110 km/h zones in Ontario (even though it didn't look like one lol), but that's okay since I got the next one. :cool: It's also funny since andrepoiy used Black Creek Drive three weeks ago. :-D
Next one's in km/h, ending in zero.

Not 40 mph either.
If it isn't 55, it is probably 45. Definitely has a WV feel.
Well, your gut is correct. This is WV State Highway 82, just east of Birch Creek. The speed limit there is 45, although looks like it should be lower.

45 looks reasonable there. Just because NY would post it at 30 doesn't mean that it has to be that low. :)

It's on an access road to a soccer complex (that's what the lights in the background were for) I traveled to for a tournament as part of my job as a referee. The wonky one-way road setup to the parking lot is fairly interesting.

Interesting, I figured it had to be something like that. Never would have thought to look on that type of road for a speed limit - around here that would probably be 10 or 15 mph or, more likely, not have a posted speed limit.

You are partially correct: the speed limit is 45 mph, but it is in fact a full freeway (at least in my mind). This is NY-201 NB in Johnson City just north of the Riverside Dr exit.

Interesting! I didn't know where this was, I never would have pegged it as the Binghamton area, but wouldn't have thought it was NYC either because of the hills in the background. Well chosen spot, though - and some spectacular fall scenery, even by upstate NY standards! :)

TBH that is the only one I have ever seen on that stretch of highway in probably 200+ trips. (Also they are NYSDEC Police, so they are probably not focused on that sort of stuff, though they do have the legal authority to do so per NYS law.)

(https://www.google.com/maps/@42.6824212,-73.8077177,3a,75y,130.91h,84.72t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sBXNaO87UUb8EZ3BJAHMBkA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192) This is on an "expressway" section of Washington Ave near the State Office campus in Albany NY. It used to be 45, but was lowered fairly recently (not sure why, but the presence of nearby SUNY Albany probably had something to do with it).
Sorry for being so late lol. Here you go, in MPH. Never too hard.

That's an interesting six-wheeler on the left! :-P
60 mph?
60 mph is correct. Its an interesting GSV glitch that I noticed after I took the screenshot. This is on the Fulbright Expressway, at the eastern terminus. Your turn!
Nice! Was not expecting to be correct. I will have the next one up in a bit.
Quite obvious what state this is in, but is it obvious what the speed limit is? :D

Yes, 30 mph is correct (sadly). This is on
NY 332 in Canandaigua (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.8992806,-77.2896832,3a,39.4y,151.3h,86.62t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqgkiFEJEamjatUBVU2KH_w!2e0!7i16384!8i8192), it came up in another thread and it made me think of it for this thread.
30 mph is as painfully slow as you might expect for a road this wide, it's legitimately wide enough for 6 lanes. It could easily be 45 mph, even keeping it under 40 is a challenge.

Might as well delete all online presence then. Or make one's identity obscure so it doesn't point to their name, location, etc.
If someone gets fired from their job for posting speed limits I will get a tattoo of Will Smith punching Chris Rock on my Stomach.

That's pretty ridiculous. Although I must ask, where is the evidence that it's 30? Especially if the online portals suggest something higher. Unless it's a case of "no sign = default county limit" or whatever.

I figured it out really quickly because the bott-dots took me straight down to Hawaii and it was on one of the few roads within the state that is legally signed at 60 mph (and the only two-lane road in Hawaii to get a speed limit higher than 50-55 mph).

The part of the road located within the town of Poughkeepsie, which of course has a default speed limit of 30mph, is explicitly signed as such southbound. The portion located within the city limits is not posted, nor is the city line posted at all, so one could make a valid argument either for the city default of 30 or the NYS default of 55. I am more inclined to go with the former on a locally maintained road, and more likely to go with the latter on county and state maintained roads. Ultimately, it doesn't matter too much in this situation since it is never enforced anyway; City of Poughkeepsie Police are usually too busy dealing with other stuff to worry about traffic patrol, and the Town Police prioritize other roads.
I'll keep us moving with this one:

I was actually thinking that it makes more sense because it
is six lanes. If it was striped for four lanes, as it easily could be, the 35 mph would be even more absurd. I would think 35 mph on six lane arterials is not common, but not unheard of either:

Do you mean because 4 lanes would increase the shoulders? In that case I see your point. Still, what visually looks like a divided highway being only 35 mph is still odd to me (but maybe it's because six-lane arterials in general are very rare in my city).

Yes, I mean the narrow/nonexistent shoulders make it look more like an urban arterial and less like an expressway/freeway, which lowers my expectations for how high the limit would be. As another example, I think there was one from San Fran earlier in the thread that was six lane divided, but it was basically a city street and it ended up being only 30 mph. Of course, both that and my NY 104 example were at lot less freeway-looking than this one, which does look like it could be much higher if not for the narrow shoulders.

Nice! Haha, my eyes went right past the pedestrian sign to the passing lane sign, which indicated a major rural highway to me. I figured 100 km/h might have been too easy, but I actually considered 110 km/h before settling on 90 km/h! I will have another one up in a little bit.

You got it, this is on
PA 23 in Lancaster County (https://goo.gl/maps/Xx4oi6cvT1KzUVgv5). This would probably be 55 mph in NY; I'm always surprised by how many 45 mph zones PA has in rural areas like this. And the Jeep is of course driverless because it's being towed. :sombrero:
Thanks! As I said, I'm not going to post just to play it safe, but I thoroughly enjoy guessing! Whenever I think of farmland on a two-lane undivided road, I think of 45 mph. I've never liked speed limits higher than that on undivided two-lane roads (without any striped or raised median or guardrail). The result of a head-on crash once you start legally allowing 50 mph or faster traffic without spatial or vertical protection would likely be an injury or fatality, and I think you need to have some margin of error.
Personal comfort level, not an official opinion of my employer.

And 45 mph is fine for most of New England, but it wouldn't work nationwide. Even
this (https://goo.gl/maps/t5oMRmrVGYphHyqa9) would be hard to tolerate at 45 mph, and that would be set at 65 mph in many parts of the country. But New York is the least of it... it's the two lane roads out west, like
this one (https://goo.gl/maps/9idw7DSk7gYLCakdA), that would
really be unbearable with a speed limit that low.
Fair point about the last one. Shoulder width is another factor I did not consider. I was picturing a road with a narrow shoulder when I made that comment, but wider shoulders can accommodate faster. I would post the middle link at 55 mph and the last one at 60 mph.
The last example is posted at 70 mph I believe.
Texas posts hundreds of miles worth of 2 lane at 75 mph.

Yeah, related to your last link, I drove US-95 from Boise to Winnemucca last summer. For most of it, the posted speed limit of
70 felt too slow. I pretty much kept it at or slightly below 80. Highways in the rural west are a different animal. And thank god Oregon no longer posts their section at 55, now that was a joke (when I drove it during the 55 days, I drove 70-75).

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.

Yep it's 35. Figured people would guess lower, because it kind of looks like it's in a park or something. But it's Airport Blvd in Burlingame, CA near SFO. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.5918956,-122.3551226,3a,90y,101.63h,83.09t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sNLJ2WCU6rDVBgOU6uYAjOA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 I used this road numerous times to access my hotel in the area, it's basically the only ways to get there from the north/west. It just happens to look like a calm park road rather than a suburban arterial for this stretch along the bay.

I didn't feel comfortable with uploading images for the first several years that I was on this forum, either, as I thought it would be too hard/complicated and take too much time to figure out. But once I tried it a few times on imgur, I got on to it, and now I don't even think twice about it.
If you already have the photo saved, it's really just as easy as going to imgur.com and creating a new post, and copy/pasting the link (+.jpg at the end) between [img] tags on the forum.

Is it searchable for the general public though? Would I get in trouble with copyright if they are Google Maps screen shots?
Searchable as in, could other people find the image? Perhaps, but I think it would have to contain something pretty specific in order to come up as a search result for anything. It's unlikely Google's algorithm would identify a generic image as a particular road, unless it contains something well-known, like a famous bridge or something.
As to copyright issues, I'm no expert, but my guess would be no. Users here have been sharing Street View screen shots as long as I can remember without issue.
Okay, thank you. I am just going to keep guessing for now and let others post images.
Next up, I think this should be another pretty easy one, again in the Northeast:

Hell, I've seen businesses using GSV screenshots for for-profit use, and none of them have ever gotten popped by Google. They'd be more likely to go after them before some random guy on the internet they don't even have an actual name for, just a city name that may or may not be true. Even if they did, about the worst they could do is send a nasty email to Imgur demanding they delete the image. Anything more than that and the lawyers start charging way, way more money than it would be worth to Google to pursue it.

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.

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.

As long as the location is revealed: it's a comedically-low 30mph.
From my experience, zero vehicles are doing 30. 50 is more common. The expressway maxes out at 40 apparently due to the lack of any horizontal banking in the curves. Why such a modern road was built this way...I do not know.

Agreed on all points -- here's the sign (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.4433865,-122.2965141,3a,75y,3.76h,87.12t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sezhUn0qUgSOWKR_lw1kM4Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?hl=en). Luckily, the 30 MPH zone isn't too long, as the speed limit sign in the background of the initial picture is where the 40 MPH zone starts, but I still don't get why there's a 30 MPH zone at all rather than just transitioning directly from the 20 MPH arrivals/departures roadways to the 40 MPH freeway after the hairpin bend. (I do kind of understand where they were coming from with the 40 MPH speed limit on the rest of the roadway, since it's got a lot of ramps and a decent bit of weaving, plus it isn't really supposed to be a through road, though I've certainly used it as such going northbound!)

45 MPH.
Also, sad I didn't get a chance for the Hood River Bridge, been over that many times. And yeah the 25 MPH is reasonable, that thing is narrow. 45 would be a death wish (30 or 35 would be okay maybe).

I think Hunt Club Road was always intended as a road that leaned more expressway-like, which can be seen by the road design + speed limit. As to why they added a painted bike lane there, no idea.

It's a nice little shortcut to avoid the main section of US-441 in busy Gatlinburg. But I have no idea why they picked 15 MPH. Sure, it's kinda residential, but 25 or 30 would be totally reasonable still. I drove on this once, definitely was in the 25-30 range, I doubt anyone drives 15.
Also, just noticed, in 2018 Street View it was 25 MPH: https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7124317,-83.5081784,3a,75y,70.7h,74.76t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s_dlazYaoCNpFs06R4ICgFQ!2e0!5s20180501T000000!7i13312!8i6656 There must be a story here why they chose to lower it lol.

Hmm. 30 when it "should really be 40" doesn't really strike me as ridiculous. I think that's about standard when it comes to speed limits in the US, which seem to universally be about ten miles per hour below the design speed.

Yeah, I could definitely see it being 40 mph, but 30 doesn't seem that far out of line given the narrow shoulders and what looks like a sidewalk adjacent to the roadway.

It is 35 MPH! This is just north of Moscow on U.S. 95, next to a U-Haul dealership. Your turn.

That is correct! This is Autoroute-20 in Ile-Perrot. It's the section of A-20 that ceases to become freeway. The opposing direction from my screenshot actually has a speed camera too (https://goo.gl/maps/v3kfC3tryZqu93jy9), so this is a very aggravating section to drive....

40 mph is correct! This is Massachusetts Route 4 at the Bedford-Billerica line. Always thought it is quite narrow to be that fast with many driveways and side streets, but seems on the high end of reasonable.
Nice!

Looks like a private property driveway type road, all rules are off the table. My guess is 5 MPH.

Well done, 5 mph is correct (
location here (https://goo.gl/maps/aDuzdsYH864qG9xR9)) and it is indeed the rear entrance to a private business. I cropped out the "THANK YOU" and "WELCOME" that would have given it away, but the white double line was also a clue.
There's no Street View on this entrance road, but the 5 mph sign is visible from NY 104
here (https://goo.gl/maps/o1zMEbXPMW7WdgcV6). (NY 104 is divided in this area, so many businesses, like this one, have secondary entrances to Ridge Rd to avoid lengthy U-turns.)
Yeah, seems like driveways, parking lots, etc. pick randomly between 5, 10, and 15 MPH (and sometimes weird numbers like 12) with no real thought. Hardly possible to drive 5 MPH anyways, and a lot of speedometers aren't really useful below 10 MPH. In most parking lots I find myself going between 10 and 15 depending on how crowded it is with pedestrians, parked cars, and other hazards. Driveways, and things like mall perimeter roads, could be as high as 25-30 depending on the design. What you posted I imagine generally sees speeds around 15-20.
Anyways, here's the next one, in MPH.

Besides the ridiculous low speed, why bother putting a speed limit on a ~60m/200' driveway? The double white lines are also interesting.
For the current one, I'll try 55 mph.
Yes, I agree that 5 mph is hardly possible to drive and not worth signing, especially on an incline like this one. I was amused when I saw it the other day and immediately thought to post it here. :)
For the new challenge... 45 mph?

No pun intended! I tried to give enough indications that it was going to be a low limit that it wasn't
too much of a crapshoot, plus there was a number of visual cues in the image. Even so, it took 6 guesses, and none of them were above 30 mph. There's been
plenty of public roads posted that have had a much bigger range of guesses and taken way more than 6 guesses, and were probably a lot more generic and less interesting to guess, too.
All that said... I don't have a major issue with banning private streets, even though I do feel it will make the game less interesting. But it should be added to the rules if that's what we're going to do.
I'm going with 40 MPH for the current one

In Oyster Bay, NY, there is a SPEED LIMIT 3 sign. In Quebec City, there is a 5 km/h (~3.1 mph) speed limit sign and even a 3 km/h (~1.8 mph) speed limit sign on streets/piers shared with pedestrians. I generally drive at around 15-20 mph in parking lot aisles and 25-30 mph on straightaways of perimeter interior roadways - obviously far slower and stopping as needed when there is a pedestrian or bicycle in my path.

Since 45 mph (which is what I would post this at in the absence of data) was already guessed, and 40 mph was as well, I will go with 50 mph.

Okay, fair enough. You're right that it can be pretty fun.
My concern is that private streets generally aren't enforceable. I figured we were primarily leaning into examples that could be enforced. But if there is no such rule, and we stick to divisible by 5 MPH/10 km/h, I'm cool with that.

I drove on this road as a back road between Hershey and my hotel in Mechanicsburg to avoid some traffic on US-322 and I-83. The whole thing is posted at 25 MPH. A lot of it is somewhat residential, but some of it opens up a little more like you see here. I try not to speed in residential areas (I have no problem speeding on highways) so I was keeping it close to 25, but it was kinda hard. I'd say 35 would be much more reasonable. The picture I posted makes 45 look reasonable, but that would be too fast for parts of the road.

Yes. It is Shirley Drive, near Bingemans amusement park, in Kitchener, ON. It is a rather notorious speed trap.
Fun story from a couple of weeks ago: I was driving on that road, and the car in front of me (which was already going the speed limit) starts slowing down. We pass the cop and he speeds back up to the speed limit. He flashes his lights at some drivers coming the other way to warn them of the speed trap. Suddenly a cop car turns on their lights to pull him over. They had another car further down the road to watch for anyone warning other drivers.

Whoa... can you actually be ticketed in Ontario for warning other drivers? The bigger issue could have been that they were "obstructing traffic" by traveling below the speed limit.

I don't know if they were actually ticketed, or just given a "warning". I wasn't about to stick around to find out.

I don't know about Ontario, but many states prohibit flashing your lights as a courtesy to other drivers for any reason, except to warn of an hazardous condition or emergency. For example, in Illinois...
Quote from: Illinois General Assembly
(625 ILCS 5/) Illinois Vehicle Code
§ 12-212 – Special restrictions on lamps
(b) Subject to the restrictions of this Act, flashing lights are prohibited on motor vehicles except as expressly authorized in this Chapter or as a means for indicating a right or left turn, lane change, or a maneuver of a vehicle from a direct course of travel as provided in Section 12-208 or the presence of a vehicular traffic hazard requiring unusual care as expressly provided in Sections 11-804 or 12-215.

Sadly,
that is correct (https://goo.gl/maps/xrgrjpCnJwNXGKNM6), and I'm not really sure why. Most roads of a similar character in this area would be 35 or 40 mph. Much of its length has adjacent neighborhood properties backing up to it, so it hardly even has any driveways, and it can't be explained by the school because there's a separate reduction to 25 mph for that.

There's a milepost on the left, indicating this is probably a state highway, so I'm going to ignore the pedestrian crossing and residential area, and guess it's 45 mph.

75 surprised me. I knew it was Texas right from the start, hence my first guess if 70, but I figured there was way to much green in the picture for 75. :)
I also figured it was TX and didn't want to go lower with 75 still available.
How about this one?

Yes, it is 30 mph, on
US 20A in Geneseo (https://goo.gl/maps/xYctmJUkDDZkZguE6) (pan around to see the sign).
30 mph is the default village speed limit in NY, and I figured the green library sign might be a clue that this was not as rural as it seemed at first glance.
The road I was going to use may have had its speed limit changed recently, and I couldn't find a good source indicating what its current speed limit is, so instead have a nice little state highway, taken on a 0.2-kilopixel Street View camera in 2008. Speed limit in miles per hour.

When it comes to the "default" state speed limit, NY does not seem to post any speed limit signage within a road network where this limit applies. In other words, if you turn off a road where the speed limit was 55 mph, you can assume the road you turn on to will be 55 mph too unless it is signed otherwise. In this case, the limit is likely posted somewhere along NY 52 and NY 17B, and that suffices for all of NY 52A.

Correct! Agreed on the speed limit though, it's rather silly that 15 miles of perfectly straight freeway (with properly sized/spaced interchanges to boot) is limited to 55.
Yeah, I'm all too familiar with that highway unfortunately. I usually drive 70 down it (sometimes pushing 75), I stopped trying to stay close to the speed limit.

I'm not used to seeing anything higher than 35 on streets like this, usually 35 or 30 (sometimes 25). 40 is usually for more suburban arterial type roads in my head. So driving through here it stuck out to me.
The urbanist part of me says taking away one of the lanes and widening the sidewalks/bike lane (might be able to fit some on street parking too), and lowering the speed limit to 30, would probably be a good move. But I've only been to Tampa this once so I am not sure what typical traffic patterns look like here.

That supports my complaint. The fact that limited access freeways are as low as 55 mph, yet undivided routes are as high as 55 mph. They should be lower than expressways and parkway, not the same, or the limited access highways should have higher speed limits. Plenty of 55 mph 2 lane roads like that in Long Island. That doesn't contradict ny compliant LOL.

There should be the option if you tap and hold the image, or if you're using Chrome you can send the link to your PC and do it from there.

Same, I know WA uses it frequently but I thought before posting that it has to be the least common of the "common" speed limits. Being overshadowed by 55 (the old national limit and default highway limit) and 65 (the default freeway limit) probably means it's never considered in a lot of places.
Virginia uses 60 mph on the vast majority of their four lane highway system across the state. It is the highest legal speed limit permitted on non-limited-access highways. The speed limit will sometimes rise to 65 mph on controlled access bypasses, but then will drop back to 55 mph or 60 mph.

Who sleeps for 12 hours? 18-24 hours works fine I guess. I'm not making it a rule, but especially during the day, check the guesses when you can and don't drag it along.
I think Covalence is saying the 18 hours would be the time that you're awake doing other things...
Personally I think 24 hours is good. These threads work better when they keep moving, but it's not like anyone is obligated to be here all the time.

Now that is bullshit. Funny how they bother to build express lanes when you can't even go over 55 mph.
The express lanes are posted at 70 mph immediately west of I-495, and would be at the location in question... but the general purpose lanes in that location are posted at 55 mph, and then incrementally go up to 60 mph then 65 mph as you approach Manassas. West of Gainesville and US-15, where the highway becomes a rural 4 lane interstate, it goes up from 65 mph to 70 mph.
The express lanes on I-495, I-95, and I-395 are all posted at a maximum of 65 mph.
Quote from: MultiMillionMiler on February 22, 2023, 02:14:52 PM
Too confusing, a simple 83 mph speed limit sign across all lanes would make more sense, including on that all-famous VA 28 bypass! Anyway, who is going next? I'm trying to get better at this game, I've only gotten 1 right so far.

It eventually gets up to 70 there. It just stair-steps: 25→35→45→70
Heading northbound is crazy though... it's 70 mph for a long time then just suddenly drops to 45 mph, then quickly after 35 mph and 25 mph. But... no different than most small towns I suppose.

Well maybe a modification to this game is needed, where one can see the road from both directions. I mean I don't even see any signs in the distance, or cross streets. And the rules say it has to be a multiple of 5, right?
We do not need to make this game any easier. There are only so many possible speed limits, this isn't like the country challenge.

Correct! Crater Lake Highway N, Crescent, OR (https://goo.gl/maps/2NdiYPzUwgHAdR3B8). It's 55 on OR-138 and further into the park but everything seen in the pics in 25.
GSV also only shows the 25mph signs leaving the park, but when I was there in 2021 there was one next to where the pic was taken, along with a lot of rumble strips.
Quote from: MultiMillionMiler on February 27, 2023, 12:05:06 AM
Does the speed limit actually apply the rest of the length in that picture, or just the entrance?
I used the measuring tool and it's 0.8 miles from the pic to the first speed limit change, where it increases to 45mph (which only applies to the single grey pixel before it goes off screen, though).

Hard disagree with that. I guess you don't know us well enough yet. If you gave us the route number:
- Someone may recognize the location and know the answer right away
- Most of us know the trends by state, which reduces the options (NY doesn't use 60 mph, for example)
- In most cases, it would be easy to find the exact location on Street View (not even by searching, just by panning to the route and dropping the pegman), so there would almost certainly be cheating.

This game isn't that hard really. There's only so many numbers that it could be.
Also, part of the fun is trying to figure out where the location could be and what the limit might be based on that. If it looks like NY, could it be a 55 mph default, or a 30 mph village limit? If it looks like TX, could it be 85 mph on TX 130, or 75 mph on a two-lane road? etc. etc.
I bet I could fool you people for a while. NYS may not have 60, but the way they set speed limits is so whacky, inconsistent, and random, you couldn't just go by things like village vs state route. Half the time they don't even stick those rules.
I'll let someone else post as I'm unable to get to a computer anytime soon...
Someone else can post if they are interested.

You'd be correct–this is 20 MPH at all times of day. This is on Gale Lemerand Drive on the University of Florida campus, and all roadways are set at 20. I am probably the only person that follows it because this is clearly not designed for low-speed traffic.
I regularly see people going 60+ on this roadway :pan:

Yes. That is Avenida Boa Viagem, in Recife, Brazil. The Google Maps image is from last year. When I was there in 2010 there was much less traffic than you see on Google Maps, and they had just converted it from two way traffic to one way traffic. I didn't know this, and got worried when the taxi driver crossed the double yellow line and started driving on the wrong side of the road...

I was going to say 15 MPH straight away, but I thought "nah, that being the US it's probably not that low". I shouldn't have thought that, haha.

This is quite intriguing, I'm not totally sure this is an enforceable or legitimate speed limit. Speed limits below 20 mph are not permitted in WA without written approval from the secretary of transportation (per RCW 46.61.415). This would in fact be the only limit in WA below 20 that I've seen.
That said, this RCW may only apply to state highways. But then if that's the case, I have to wonder why 15 hasn't shown up more often (at least once more...again this is the first time I've seen a limit below 20 in WA).

If you're really interested to hunt down the answer...
The speed limit was considered by the City Council on 09-JAN-2012 and then passed as Ordinance No. 2012-02.
https://www.ci.castle-rock.wa.us/council/Agenda_01-09-12.pdf
https://www.ci.castle-rock.wa.us/council/AGENDA_23Jan12.pdf
https://www.codepublishing.com/WA/CastleRock/html/CastleRock10/CastleRock1008.html#10.08.015
As for the code applying only to state highways, I don't believe that's the case. The only part of RCW 46.61.415 that mentions state highways specifically is (6). All other sections only mention "highways", which term is defined in RCW 46.04.197 as "every way publicly maintained when any part thereof is open to the use of the public". I'm no lawyer but, by my reading, there's no legal provision for any speed limit below 20 mph in the state of Washington.

Much of that highway is
twisty (https://goo.gl/maps/YoYeGWgiq2tQoi6t8) and
hilly (https://goo.gl/maps/B28ymDXfYaKsXhCt7), with plenty of
flood gauges (https://goo.gl/maps/J1Xvpvu2kfKjAk37A) and
whatnot (https://goo.gl/maps/Aqo6BJKynUiVVMXS7). A lot of the
speed advisory tabs (https://goo.gl/maps/4fVs61H7X9aaWdf88) have values of 30 and 35 mph. For much of it, maintaining 55 mph isn't even reasonable. I just took a GSV shot from a comparatively easy stretch south of there.

45 MPH is correct! Unfortunately. It's Argonne Rd near Spokane, WA (https://www.google.com/maps/@47.7544972,-117.3038145,3a,75y,188.17h,78.59t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sdlLzD6qpvwWOqQZquYBT9A!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu). I turned onto this road from Stoneman Rd. Stoneman is a narrow road with rolling hills, driveways, and a few sharp curves, and the posted 45 felt very appropriate there. Argonne felt completely different in comparison.
After turning onto Argonne, it felt like I turned onto a state highway. I wasn't entirely sure that it
wasn't part of the state highway system (it's not). It definitely feels designed for high speed, moderate capacity traffic. I totally expected a 55 or 60 MPH speed limit. Even if it was a county road, in Washington you'd often get a 50 instead. Then I saw the 45 sign, wtf? I drove 60-65 regardless.
From what I gather, Argonne is kinda acting like the de facto Spokane bypass, while US-395 North Spokane Corridor is not yet finished. That's why I was using it (driving from the north side of Spokane over to Coeur d'Alene). Traffic levels will probably go down a lot once US-395 is finished.
Anyone want to post another one?

Very short SSD, I'm going with 35?
This is correct! This is on SR-810 north of Dyke, VA.
Here we go again! This one in MPH

65
70 maybe?
55 mph?

45mph, just in case it's some divided suburban road.

CORRECT!! While it's not technically suburban, it is indeed 45. This is part of FL-397 and FL-85 near Eglin AFB. A reduction before the military guard shack sorta makes sense, but as for this picture's location, I'm not sure why it's 45... :-/ In my opinion, this could definitely be 50 or 55, given the average speed of traffic. Idk though, just my opinion :bigass:
