Staring has always been 35 MPH
Was it?
Even if it was, 35 mph feels right on a small street with only 2 lanes. It does not feel right on a 4 lane boulevard with center turn lanes. Most anyone would expect if the speed was 35 mph before then it would increase to at least 40 after. I thought it was 40 mph before but the argument stands either way.
Maybe they need the speed to be 35 mph because that is the only speed at which people can read the 1 trillion street signs.

It was 40 but apparently people couldnt safely access their mailbox or let their kids play in the yard.

Baton Rouge Department of Public Works’ Chief Traffic Engineer Ingolf Partenheimer said the 40 mph speed limit was a compromise. He said DPW determined the speed limit could have safely been higher, as high as 50, but compromised to 40 in the wake of criticism.
Lowering it any more, he said, could actually cause more of a problem. He said national studies have shown cars going unusually slowly could find themselves rear-ended by other cars traveling as fast as the drivers feel comfortable driving.
“I don’t begrudge him wanting him to make 35,” Partenheimer said of Delgado. “I just don’t believe he’ll attain the goal that he wants, which is a major reduction in accidents.”
Delgado said of the claim of increased risk, “I think that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.”

It runs through a residential neighborhood so....yes, 35 mph is correct.
