The 25 on Capital Heights thread got me thinking about all of the dumbass low speed limits we have around BR.

30 on Bluebonnet between Burbank and Nicholson.

45 on connection ramps between Bluebonnet and Siegen.

50 on I-110 by Governor's Mansion.

What else?

When did Burbank go to 45 mph? Noticed it by new Walmart the other day and wondered if just for construction but the signs looked permanent.

Should be lower IMO. That curve is horrendous.

50 on 61 north from 110 to just before Jetson(964 split).

F the troopers who sit there as well as under the Picardy overpass on them connection ramp you mention.

Have you ever tried to go that slow? It's painful. You're basically idling.

I agree with that section of Bluebonnet being too low--that's just ridiculous.

But judging by how many wrecks there are on I-110 at the Governor's mansion, 50 there is justified, IMO.

Bar none, the worst speed limit I've seen is on the Bluebonnet extension from Burbank to Nicholson. 30 MPH is beyond absurd on a very long four way stretch of road in the middle of nowhere with two subdivisions on either side. Get flipping serious.

South Harrells Ferry Rd was 35 not too long ago. That was absurd. My wife got a ticket there for going 40mph the week before they changed the speed limit. That wreckless shedevil...

The new road connecting central and oneal lane is fifty through the countryside. He'll airline is fifty by the old womans hospital. It makes no sense.

This. Really only drive it when I am headed to the Lauberge and trying to avoid Gardere at night, but it is absolutely horrible.
