Probably 40 mph if it's not 35, 45, 50, nor 55.

I'll throw in for 30 mph just in case.

Why would your employer care?

I work for MassDOT; I don't want to falsely insinuate any speed limits are inappropriate. Please respect that.

I don't see where this challenge necessarily means you disagree with a specific speed limit.  Of course, you don't need to post if you feel you may be uncomfortable with it in any way.

Anyway....I love the game though, so someone else please post!

OK, sure, I'll bite. Bonus points if you can guess what the speed limit sign facing the other direction says (it's different than the correct answer  :-P)

30 mph, with the other sign saying "End 30 MPH Limit"

Too easy. You are correct that it is 30 mph, but not correct about the other sign. Did the signs on the telephone poles give it away?

(Now that I think about it, I think I'll save the link so I can use the other direction next time I get one right.  :-P)

Uh paranoid almost? You could even just post a speed limit from outside the state if you are THAT paranoid.

When you have a boss you'll learn that when someone can take away the source of income you need to keep your house, car, etc. if they don't like something you did, you tend to not want to take risks you don't need to.

Might as well delete all online presence then. Or make one's identity obscure so it doesn't point to their name, location,  etc.

I'm not understanding here. He is deciding for his own reasons he does not want to post. It's not anyone else's problem nor is there a place for anyone else to say he should decide differently.

The banners reminded me of a town near me (where the speed limit through downtown is ironically 35). The transition from farmland to dense rural housing definitely and the ending of the dashed yellow line made me think speed limit drop as well. Just curious, what does the other sign say? I figured it might be what I guessed since it is probably in NY, and you were giving out bonus points  :)

Anyway, next up, in mph:
