Barely got this in! Alley here in Tacoma. Photo was taken for the view hence the odd framing:

5 MPH?

Did you miss his previous post? He's never seen a limit as low as 10, so I think it's safe to say it's not 5 mph!  :-D

10?
That is correct!
I wouldn't have guessed it until your hint. I've never seen such a low limit! Unless it was in a parking lot...
Lol I'm dumb.

25 MPH

Winner winner!

The road is S 23rd St in Tacoma. As with all unposted streets in the city, the limit is 25.

Since I guessed the last, here's another one of mine:

Reminds me a modern BC freeway: tight shoulders and RIROs!

My guess is 90 km/h.

andrepoiy

Wow, you got it.

Yeah, it's a RIRO expressway, it's Highway 35/115 in Clarington, ON.

You got me with including "alley" in your description, when it's really an average street. My guess was the default speed limit of an alley.

Yeah, that was unfair since it only feels like an alley. It's actually a road. Still, in terms of speed limits, alleys, streets, road...everything is 25 unless posted otherwise.

Reminds me of some of the British A-roads that I drove on several years ago as well. No one going the limit, of course.

Sorry, slept in a bit.

65 mph

Bingo!

US-97 northwest of Ellensburg, WA.

I was pretty sure that was US-97 (or at least a highway nearby), but wasn't totally sure if it was OR, WA, or CA, could fit in with any of those states. I would have guessed WA though since I'm least familiar with WA's segments of US-97, and I don't remember seeing windmills along US-97 in the other states, except near Biggs, OR probably, and since you live in WA. I would have guessed 65 or 60 if others didn't beat me to it haha.
