That is correct, on MD-201/Kenilworth Ave east of College Park.

Yeah I thought that looked familiar, I've driven through there several times.

75 MPH?

I think that's US-26 next to Hillsboro, OR. Unfortunately posted at 55. Should be 70.

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.

Here's the next one, in MPH.

35 mph

It's not 35, but probably what I would have guessed myself if I didn't know.

[CovalenceSTU]

40mph? Reminds me of some streets in Texas where they set it on the higher side.

30 mph

Yep, it's 40. It's on Tampa St in Tampa, FL. https://www.google.com/maps/@27.9667499,-82.4608814,3a,83.9y,197.79h,85.48t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3CzTFJ_DZJypNxc6Kqd8Pw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

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.
