US routes that never make it to 55 mph or greater

[bugo]

The speed limit on the Talimena Drive (OK 1) is 65, and there are many very sharp curves that can only be taken at low speeds.

I doubt there is a US highway that never gets above 50 ANYWHERE along its length unless we count bannered routes.

I checked former US 630.  it's 55 in Oregon.  dang!

US 46 never gets higher than 50.

Connecticut and Rhode Island will only post 55 on freeways, Vermont will only post it on limited-access highways.

FTFY...

I think this is false, even if only on a technicality. It's concurrent with I-95 to the state line.

You're right,I forgot about that.  I was too quick to point out what seemed like a no brainer.  Although, to be fair, one never gets to go above 55 going north (east) approaching the GWB tolls

At least back east the typical drives are nowhere near as long as they would be in Texas, where the next town over might be 30 miles away.

The Jersey Freeway portion through Little Falls and Clifton does.

Though the SLDs say otherwise, checking the GSV shows 45 signs on the portion between the I-95 merge and where it cuts off due to Port Authority paranoia.

No.  The signed limit through that section is 50.  Although, actual traffic speeds are closer to 60 when it isn't congested.

Huh.  We may dodge a bullet on that one then.  My apologies.  I knew the bridge itself was 45, but I figured there would still be a section of 55 before you got there.

I was quick to agree with you on your post. I honestly don't remember the speed limit being 45 through that section. Although I admit that I don't go that far east regularly. It's been several years since I've been down there.
