Should be lower IMO. That curve is horrendous.

It's really not. It's not a "horrendous" curve by any means. 60 would suit it just fine IMO. But I get why the SL is lower there though.

A 30mph speed limit on a 4-lane, divided highway is absolutely laughable.

Agreed, which is why 35 mph on Staring is gonna suck now that they've opened that new construction up. And cops are already having a field day with it...I saw one pulling people over the first week it was opened. Even Essen Lane, with all its driveways and businesses and lights and shite, is 45 mph.

I find myself going 50 there all the time without thinking about it. Gonna be bad. Wish it was higher.

bluebonnet should be 35 or 40, but only if cars followed the speed limit. any faster and it gets dangerous. you can't see cars that are going 50 mph til they're right on you when you're pulling out of some of those streets. the only reason there aren't more wrecks is because most cars keep it under 40 on bluebonnet. it'll probably stay the same since drivers think its ok to go 10 mph over the speed limit on all streets.
