Staring is residential, however it's now an essential link to the interstate. And it will be even more so when it's extended to Nicholson/LA 30.
The dilemma comes in cost-benefit. To raise speed limit 10mph they would either
1. buy and destroy all those homes along staring or
2. completely change the neighborhood design of most of them houses by making their front yards fenced in and creating alley way drives (like you see in Plano,tx along these highways).
We fricked. 35 it is.

That's why the road is designed at 45 MPH...in the event that the speed limit needs to be raised, the road will be safely designed for it.
However, what it entails for that to happen through the residential area, is another thing.
