Maybe 55 -60 in some places, I forget.

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.

And I can tell you, losing an alternator belt coming back from
the city at night on it is NOT fun, when your lights go to hell :-(


So there you are, endangering everyone around you by driving at night with dodgey lights! Oh, the humanity! What if a child didn't see you and ran from the cornfields (or whatever lines that piece of road!) and was killed!! Thats more hazardous than a speeding motorcycle!!!







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