Nearest Speed Limits to You

[US 89]

You're also less than 479 miles from US-270/US-412/OK-3, part of which is 70 mph

I thought there might be something in the panhandle of either Texas or Oklahoma. I know those states post high limits on non-interstates, but didn't find any in a quick look around.

To my knowledge Oklahoma will not post anything higher than 65 on a 2-lane road.

20 MPH: default limit in St. Louis Park
25 MPH: my street
30 MPH: major arterial .5 miles away
35 MPH: Blake Road in Hopkins
40 MPH: same arterial road as the 30, but 1/4 mile away from my house
45 MPH: Shady Oak Road in Hopkins
50 MPH: MN 7 in St. Louis Park
55 MPH: another section of MN 7 in St. Louis Park
60 MPH: MN 62 or MN 100
65 MPH: I-35W south of I-494 in Bloomington
70 MPH: I-35 in Burnsville
75+: have to go to the Dakotas

80 mph - whatever the closest to Cincinnati is

Looks like the intersection of US412 (Cherokee Turnpike) and OK32 is your closest.

Did you mean another Oklahoma state route? I looked up where OK 32 is, and it's a short route in the opposite side of the state of US 412.

That's what I thought too... but that example appears to have been increased to 70 mph. What is up with that?

30/35 mph: most main streets
55 mph: posted Mass. Pike and 128/95 speed limit, but usually never followed.

Not sure what I was looking at. OK10. It's 80 mph between Cherokee Turnpike mile 3 and 28.

To my knowledge Oklahoma will not post anything higher than 65 on a 2-lane road.

You obviously didn't click on my link.  I personally drove part of that highway in the spring so 2019, and the speed limit was indeed 70 mph.

That's what I thought too... but that example appears to have been increased to 70 mph. What is up with that?

Heh, I didn't even notice that was a link. Oops.

I knew Oklahoma had raised some speed limits lately but had thought those were limited to interstates and turnpikes. I drove around a bit in the panhandle a bit last year and I'm pretty sure both US 56/64/412 and US 287/385 were posted at 65. 287 could easily be 70 though with its excellent sightlines and wide shoulders.

20 mph: 0.45 miles away
25 mph: My street I live on
30 mph: 0.51 miles away
35 mph: 0.4 miles away
40 mph: 14.17 miles away (not exactly sure about this)
45 mph: 0.98 miles away
50 mph: 3.5 miles away
55 mph: 1.53 miles away
60 mph: 1.31 miles away
65 mph: 0.25 miles away
70 mph: 21.7 miles away
75 mph: Not exactly sure where because of construction, but somewhere along the US 59/I-69 corridor between 30-40 miles away
80 mph: 147.86 miles away
85 mph: 143.5 miles away

Distances based on driving distance, not as the crow flies.

25 mph: Street where I live
30 mph: 2.4 miles
35 mph: 0.6 miles
40 mph: 3.6 miles
45 mph: 1 mile
50 mph: 2.5 miles
55 mph: 1.9 miles
60 mph: 12.8 miles via the shortest route
65 mph: 4.3 miles
70 mph: About 38 miles (depends on the route used to get there)

There are no speed limits above 70 mph anywhere remotely close to here. The 75-mph zone on I-95 in Maine is about 687 miles. I don't know where the closest one in Michigan is, so it might be closer. I also don't know where the closest 80-mph zone is. As far as I know, for the 85-mph zone in Texas it's around 1540 miles.

[kphoger]

Everything from 20—75 mph exists within my home county.

80 mph:  164 miles (Kickapoo Turnpike – Luther, OK)

I'd never thought about it, but I just realized that I'm within 3 miles of everything from 30 to 70.
