Well, he didn't say 50 AND 55!   :-D
His guess does not count unless he says a single number.

Probably 50 or 55 in Texas
You have to guess a single number.

I read it differently. Not as a guess, but as a statement, as in "this would be 50 or 55 if it was in Texas".

However, it's not in Texas. It's much further north.   :D

To encourage others: he did say my guess of "45" was "good".

Surprisingly, that is correct! Photo from Dakota County 9 in Lakeville, MN.

20 mph

Brownie points for getting the advisory speed correct, at least.

How about
5 or 10 or 15 or 20 or 25 or 30 or 35 or 40 or 45 or 50 or 55 or 60 or 65 or 70 or 75 or 80 or 85 or 90 or 100 or 110 or 120 or 130 or 140 or 150 or 160 or infinity?
That covers all speed limits I think.

Is there a "Speed Limit 0"  somewhere?

Ironically, 55 mph was what my gut initially thought it was, and I suppose I just assumed it had already been guessed.

Torn between 40 and 50, but it being Canada, I'll guess 50 kilometers per hour.

Is this Canada or US?
Judging from the single solid yellow line, I'm guessing it's in Canada.
I change my guess then. Also changing rules to require saying what units the road is (tell me if you object to this rule change).

I've planned specifying the units if ever I won the game. Anyways, I've seen such roads with many speed limits, but I'm going with a safe 50 km/h guess.

50 km/h is the correct answer. Usually, residential areas are 40 km/h in this city, but this neighbourhood seems to be signed all 50. I'm guessing that since this neighbourhood had been around since at least 1956 (the earliest aerial photo I can find of the area), it was grandfathered in with the 50 limit.

Here's the limit sign at the start of the road:
