Yeah I would not have guessed 30 without the hint haha.

Excuse the GSV screenshot and quick edit.

Uh Imma guess 45 mph?

Rule clarification: you can post roads with metric speed limits to, it's up to us to guess if it 's imperial or metric!

Would be funny if someone posted a pic of a German Autobahn here. None of our numerical guesses would be correct.

50 MPH
Nope, but I can give a small (maybe not helpful) hint, the speed limit is 50 just a mile or so away from this location.

Looks Alaskan? Let's go 55.
Nope, that's probably what I would have guessed if I didn't know where this was though.

35 mph
Nope

How about 40? (That will cover everything from 35-55 inclusive.)

70? Unless this is a metric thing and we're all off-base...

You got it, it's US-12 in Montana next to the Idaho border. I would have given some kind of hint or leeway if I was trying to be sneaky with metric.



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.

It looks like a 25 (or 30, already guessed) MPH street, but my gut is telling me to guess 20 MPH.

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.

Ketchup99

Oh, interesting, thanks for letting me know - I'll try to fix that for next time. At any rate, it's not 20.

I was going to say 70 mph myself after 65 mph was denied, but I refrained because of this rule.
