OK. I might post it because mine got guessed very quickly, but someone else can if they want to.

This is in the US, but you may have to think outside the box a little bit on this one. (It is divisible by 5, though.)

Maybe it's a default? Let's go 65.

15 MPH

That's it!

Can't believe I got that one right! Anyway, let's continue with this east-west thoroughfare north of Las Vegas:

50? I suppose this one would be easy enough to find on GMaps, but I am resisting the urge :-D

Hell, I didn't realize 15 was even used anywhere. Here in Washington, limits below 20 are not permitted without a special grant of sorts. I think I've seen school zones of 15 in some states, but not regular roads.

If I remember correctly, the MUTCD doesn't allow speed limits under 20, thus my "think outside the box" hint on this one. The road is maintained by a homeowner's association (though it is a publicly-accessible road), so they don't particularly care what the MUTCD says.

I see.

So I guess that begs the question of what is permitted in this thread. I would have assumed the spirit of the thread would be roads that were set by a local government of sorts. I wouldn't personally extend that to HOAs or shopping center operators, but maybe roadgeekteen is fine with it.

Now, that said, if someone posts a parking lot with a speed limit of 50: that's cool!

I'm fine with any road as long as the speed limit is divisible by 5.
