I can drive 55 ONLY when it makes sense.

Correct. This is Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway in AZ. Saw this stretch on "Fridays With Frank" and knew I had to send it to y'all.

Apparently it's 50 due to pedestrians and bicycles on the corridor (according to Deputy Frank Sloup's comments to a motorist during one of his FWF episodes :-P ). That could theoretically be fixed through a shared-use path, but I've never been there so I don't know exactly. Personally I think it should be 60-65 even though I've never actually been there...

I've watched his episodes... definitely an intentional speed trap and he knows that. Then he acts like the motorist was going to kill someone driving 65 mph down that wide open road, be condescending to the person, and write them a ticket. Then upload it for views and engagement.

I enjoyed his content for a bit, but the constant condescending attitude toward people and constant strict enforcement of unreasonably low speed zones, then using it for engagement and views made me lose interest & respect for his content. It's a money grab both in the tickets he writes and likely the viewership they get from their videos, based on policing disgustingly low speed zones.

My initial thought was M-CG, and I was right for the exact same reason. I, too, have never been in the area, but I highly doubt there is much non-motorized traffic along there.

Anyway, here is the next one to guess, in mph:

That was pretty fast, considering this is a speed limit guessing game and there are supposed to be curve balls. MPH:
