70?

70?

70 is indeed correct! This is US 15 near Mansfield PA. 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.

60 mph

Yep! WA-518 in Tukwila.

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).

Here is my picture up for the guessing


As you may have guessed, this is in mph.

[7/8]

35 mph?

[jlam]

Correct! US40 in Kremmling. This road, like many US roads, is 35 mph through downtown.

Sweet! Alright, this one's in km/h and ends in 0.

Not 70.

How about 90 km/h?

How about 90 km/h?

Yes, that's it! Funny enough, just behind this photo is the start of the 70 zone entering town.

There aren't many 90 two-lane roads in Southern Ontario (usually 80 is max). Here's the street view link.

Nice! I figured it was probably higher than 70 km/h and got lucky with my choice.

I'll have the next one up shortly.

Let's stay in km/h for what I think should be an easy one:
