Guess the speed limit challenge

[jakeroot]

ummm...45?

That is correct, facing SB on NY-21/NY-36 in Hornell. Really not sure why this isn't 55.

Hmm, yeah, 45 seems a little low. But, I guess it could be worse.

I'll get something up soon!

Not 70.

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.

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.

That's it!

I-90 between Bellevue and Issaquah, WA: https://goo.gl/maps/MafKiVk3MXHQ5CW48

I'm not 100% sure where the limit sign is, but the 70 limit changes to 60 east of Issaquah and remains 60 through Bellevue, Mercer Island, all the way to the end in Seattle.

Someone else can post for this round.

Correct. This is the PA Turnpike NE Extension in Plymouth Meeting just north of the I-276 junction. You are up next.

Well played with that angle!! I thought it might have been OK or TX. I've been on the NE Extension a couple times but you definitely fooled me with this

I guess I'll jump in here with one in km/h (ending in 0):

[7/8]

80?

[jon12791]

80?

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