Guess the speed limit challenge

[webny99]

Interesting thought, not 45 mph though.

I'll try the "too obvious" 55

[Roadgeekteen]

65 mph

Of course interstatefan990 was correct, that would indeed have been too obvious

65 mph

Not 65 mph either.

[stevashe]

60 mph?

[webny99]

Not 60 mph...

[interstatefan990]

Do we have our second 50 mph in a row?

I wish... but no...

70 mph

70 mph

Not 70 mph...

This leaves us with moronic options. Given that it's New York (based on the road design), I'm going to guess it's an increment of 5....so, 35?

Indeed!! I figured this one might take a while. I drove through the other day and couldn't believe I didn't think to use it here sooner. It's NY 104 WB approaching the Genesee River, where the freeway in Irondequoit turns to six-lane boulevard in the old Kodak Park area.

It definitely doesn't need to be as low as 35 across the bridge here. Keeping it at 55 mph might be a bit high given the narrow lanes, nonexistent shoulders, and sidewalk abutting the roadway, but I think 45 mph would be reasonable.

You are up next!

[jakeroot]

Woah, that is frighteningly low for what seems like a major freeway. 55 may not be appropriate for the roadway beyond the bridge, but I feel posting some sort of transition zone would have been a bit more appropriate. 45 seems reasonable, yeah.



Here is my submission:

I'm going to go with 35 mph, since that's pretty popular on these types of rural roads in Western Washington

That is a very reasonable conclusion, but it's not 35.

Is this in mph?

D'oh! The van made me think it could be a different country for some reason.

I'll try 25 mph.

The Eurovan! Now combined with all of the JDM vans, it does sometimes feel like the Pacific Northwest is a foreign country.

25 is correct! Freeman Road, s/o Valley Ave in Fife, WA (the view is reversed but it's the same in both directions). Only about a mile south of my previous use of Freeman Road.

[webny99]

Nice! Was a bit hard to tell how dense the area was, but I figured it was slightly more likely that it would be lower than 35 mph given the lack of shoulders.

So the back-and-forth continues... I will let anyone jump in here, as I just went and I don't have anything lined up.

[doorknob60]

I'll go then, this is MPH.
