I'll work my way down :). 40 mph?

Surprisingly not 40 mph or 60 mph.

I will also give a small hint: There are 2 answers that I would accept as correct, neither one has been guessed yet.

Let's see; 35 mph?

It is indeed 35 mph! PA 144 near Mount Nittany.

Obviously 20 mph would have been the other accepted answer, as that's the truck speed limit here. Both speeds seem very low, but the area is a bit more developed than might appear at first glance.

Fuck... that road is right near my house, and I drive it almost every week. I have no clue how I didn't pick up on it.

The 35mph limit isn't because of development, although there's a little developed area on top of the mountain. It's low because the road goes up and over the mountain, and the grades are steep and the road is curvy. Ditto for the 20mph truck limit, PA has a habit of posting 20 or 30 for trucks on roads like this and Route 144 is no exception.

Still kind of annoyed that I missed that one...

CoreySamson, I'll guess 50 for yours.

Wouldn't shock me if this is in NY or somewhere in New England, so I'll go 65 mph.

Roadgeekteen

65 is correct it's I-390 in New York

Wow, I forgot about I-390. I did think it looked like NY, but was thinking of I-81.
