Maybe 55 -60 in some places, I forget.

He's endangering everyone around him, and I hope he gets
nailed for it sooner rather than later.



Its 55 most places. I think it might go to 65 down near the city. If you've ridden the northern section of it, you'll understand why its only 55. There are roads that just come into it with a stop sign. (Although they have eliminated *most* of the crossroads, some still cross it.) And its two narrow lanes each direction, with no shoulders.

Its also a fun road to hit triple digits on... :P
