Guess the speed limit challenge

[Shedingtonian]

But the difference is, I would imagine 70 km/h feels slow on A-7

It really does, trust me. Most drivers go 100 or 110 km/h in this segment. Great contrast from just a couple kilometers north!

I'll do one in mph for a change of pace:

I'm going to guess 35 MPH for this one.

[7/8]

For the current image, I will guess 55 mph.

Correct! This is on MO 86 in the Ozarks (GSV link). As someone from an area that'll usually sign a max of 80 km/h (50 mph) on 2-lane roads even when they're straight, I thought this was pretty cool.

Nice! 55 seems pretty reasonable for that road. If that were NY, it would either be 40  or an unposted default 55.

Next up:

50 MPH

That is correct, facing SB on New Hwy in East Farmingdale NY, right beside Republic Airport.

Cool, I figured it was more likely on the higher end than the lower end. But I guess in this game you never know haha.

Here's the next one, in MPH.

[cockroachking]

25 mph? I hope it is higher but my gut tells me it's not.

[doorknob60]

Not 25

35 mph seems reasonable

Yep it's 35. Figured people would guess lower, because it kind of looks like it's in a park or something. But it's Airport Blvd in Burlingame, CA near SFO. https://www.google.com/maps/@37.5918956,-122.3551226,3a,90y,101.63h,83.09t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sNLJ2WCU6rDVBgOU6uYAjOA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 I used this road numerous times to access my hotel in the area, it's basically the only ways to get there from the north/west. It just happens to look like a calm park road rather than a suburban arterial for this stretch along the bay.

Nice! One of the rare times that I am glad I was wrong.

Changed my mind, I can post, but not sure how to insert an image

This should help.

Thank you! Wow! Definitely don't feel comfortable with that but props to you all!

I didn't feel comfortable with uploading images for the first several years that I was on this forum, either, as I thought it would be too hard/complicated and take too much time to figure out. But once I tried it a few times on imgur, I got on to it, and now I don't even think twice about it.

If you already have the photo saved, it's really just as easy as going to imgur.com and creating a new post, and copy/pasting the link (+.jpg at the end) between [img] tags on the forum.

Is it searchable for the general public though? Would I get in trouble with copyright if they are Google Maps screen shots?

Searchable as in, could other people find the image? Perhaps, but I think it would have to contain something pretty specific in order to come up as a search result for anything. It's unlikely Google's algorithm would identify a generic image as a particular road, unless it contains something well-known, like a famous bridge or something.

As to copyright issues, I'm no expert, but my guess would be no. Users here have been sharing Street View screen shots as long as I can remember without issue.
