Yes. It is Shirley Drive, near Bingemans amusement park, in Kitchener, ON. It is a rather notorious speed trap.

Nice! That does seem a bit low. Here is the next one, in mph:



30 mph?

30 mph?

Sadly, that is correct, and I'm not really sure why. Most roads of a similar character in this area would be 35 or 40 mph. Much of its length has adjacent neighborhood properties backing up to it, so it hardly even has any driveways, and it can't be explained by the school because there's a separate reduction to 25 mph for that.

There's a milepost on the left, indicating this is probably a state highway, so I'm going to ignore the pedestrian crossing and residential area, and guess it's 45 mph.

Correct, this is Massachusetts Route 110 in Chelmsford between Route 3 and I-495.

Do I dare? 75 mph?
This is indeed 75! This road is TX-19 just north of Trinity, TX:

Kinda fast for the curves and traffic, but I would say it is a very good limit.

75 surprised me. I knew it was Texas right from the start, hence my first guess if 70, but I figured there was way to much green in the picture for 75.  :)
