in km/h

Looks like China.

I'm guessing 60?
Seems like you got the pattern after my last 60 km/h China freeway example at the start of the thread  :-D

You're up next.

I was going to guess something stupid like 30, but even I was thinking they didn't post anything that low!

Here is my submission:


Road in BC by Jacob Root, on Flickr

I think I know this road (Rannie Road in Pitt Meadows?). The limit is 30 km/h. I literally laughed out loud when I saw the speed limit for the first time.

100 km/h

That would be nice!

Quote from: Roadgeekteen on July 23, 2021, 02:51:38 AM
90 km/h

Not quite either!

Blasted! I was hoping you wouldn't see this post :-D But yes, that's it, just north of the Swaneset Bay golf club. Stumbled upon the limit for the first time scouting film locations from Happy Gilmore. Didn't think it was right but the sign is still there, all these years later!

Thinking California... 60 mph? They've got some arterials with those high speeds, especially in newer developed areas.

I'm guessing 40 mph if it's a US road

I didn't think anyone would guess it this fast, but yeah 60 mph. Except if you see children, then you're supposed to slam on the brakes and go 25.

jakeroot

I too was thinking 55 or 60. Clearly California and they have some seriously high speed surface arterials. I was also going to say 60 but I didn't want to go again :-D

I'm thinking Irvine area?

And here is the speed limit sign as proof.
Keep right except to pass.  Yes.  You.
