Guess the speed limit challenge

[Sapphuby]

I'll still go with 40 mph.

[sprjus4]

35 mph.

[cockroachking]

It is neither 35 mph nor 40 mph.

[webny99]

Could it be lower than the advisory limit then? How about 30 mph?

Sadly, you are correct. Here is the photo location. The speed limit used to be 40 mph, but was lowered to 30 mph when the Delaware Aqueduct Bypass Tunnel was under construction, even though it had no impact on CR-92 (typical abuse of Work Zone speed limits in NY), and it has been kept at 30 mph permanently. If you take a look at the east end, you can see where the 40 mph sign in 2012 was replaced with a 30 mph sign by 2021. Some of the signs still have the 'Work Zone" tab on them, but others don't.

Wow! I wonder if a study was done, or if they just decided to keep it at 30 mph with no basis.

Anyone can feel free to jump in with another one to guess, otherwise I'll get one up tomorrow.

Alright, how about this one? It's in km/h, with a very small hint (literally and figuratively) in the top corner. 

[Sapphuby]

90 km/h

[webny99]

90 km/h

Not 90 km/h...

[7/8]

110 km/h?

[webny99]

110 km/h?

Not 110 km/h either...

[cockroachking]

Since it is Canada most likely, I will lowball it and guess 80 km/h.

[Sapphuby]

Surprised that nobody went with 100 km/h, which is my guess.

[jakeroot]

It's gotta be 100, yeah.

I'm still trying to figure out the hint.

[plain]

120 just to be reckless lol

[hotdogPi]

I'm still trying to figure out the hint.

I think it was simply that it was 2021 imagery, and "literally" meant that the corner takes up a tiny part of the screen.

I don't get how that's a hint.

[webny99]

Surprisingly, no one has got it yet. It's not 100 or 120 km/h.

[CoreySamson]

70 km/h?

1 is correct regarding the "hint". It's a hint for anyone trying to find the exact spot, because you know it has 2021 imagery, and given the greenery and the "n" visible, you could probably figure out that it's from June 2021 specifically.

But a lot of places probably have 2021 imagery at this point, so like I said, it's only a very small hint.

[webny99]

70 km/h?

LOL, I knew it was over as soon as I said no to 100 and 120 

It is indeed 70 km/h, it's at the very end of ON 400 where it becomes Black Creek Drive: https://goo.gl/maps/hQc6sKE1cLL5VKrM9

[CoreySamson]

Next up for a change of pace (in MPH):

[webny99]

This looks like it could be a drive through safari or something, so I'll go extremely low: 10 mph?

Nope.
