February 2, 2019: Speed limit signs lower than 50 on interstates.

Here's a slightly unusual advance speed limit sign for the 45 MPH section on I-35E in Saint Paul. May 26, 2018.

Westbound Interstate H-1, 35mph on a flyover above Interstate H-201 (and continuing about a half-mile until the HI 92 junction):

It's a truck speed limit but it isn't a yellow advisory sign. I-10 west in Baton Rouge

I-285 has some variable speed limit signs, though 35 was ignored at this point...



...this was probably an error on I-10 east of Mobile:

These variable speed limit signs, which normally read 65, are triggered based on traffic volume, dropping to 55, then 45, then finally 35. As with all freeway speed limit signs in Atlanta, they are universally ignored.

Why would speed limits be lowered for traffic?

It's supposed to smooth out the flow of traffic instead of everything suddenly coming to a stop from 70. It's a system some of our freeways have had for the last 15 years and is being rolled out across the country.

Here's my entry for today's challenge. A 45mph limit on I-35 in KC. The 80 degree temperature on the advertisement to the left of the speed limit sign is wishful thinking at the moment.

You'll just have to take my word for it, but there's a Speed Limit 40 sign in this photo.

It's a day late for lining up with the Super Bowl, but oh well, close enough.

How about when Jacobs Field was still Jacobs Field from I-90 in Cleveland?  July 31, 2001.



And then to the west coast for Safeco Field on an exit ramp from I-5 (I believe).  April 12, 2017.

From Saturday's ped walk-through for the new SR-99 tunnel in Seattle.  Luckily these signs went up just after they announced the change from Safeco Field to T-Mobile.  All three signs had a 2018 date on the back, but in-person the middle sign seemed to be a different shade of green.

Nationals Park in D.C., sign on northbound I-395:



There also are signs on northbound I-395 pointing you to Verizon Center, which was renamed Capital One Arena ca. 2017, but I think the signs have not yet been updated. I don't have pix of any of those signs.

What do they call the big football stadium in Miami? Florida's Turnpike is muted on the matter:

My Yankee Stadium above qualifies.  That's the old stadium that's now gone.

And I can go back to one of my oldest photos of a sign, for Candlestick Park with the stadium itself in the background.  Taken on US 101.  August 18, 1985.



And how about the now-demolished Tappan Zee Bridge?  January 22, 2004.
