Seems to me like there isn’t really a speed limit in BR. The signs are 70, 65, 60, and 50 in some spots, but I know people are going 80-90, and probably even higher than that, yet I never see cops pulling people over for speeding in BR. Shoot, I’ve passed cops going 85 on the interstate before, and they never came after me. So, how fast do you have to go for a cop to pull you over for speeding in BR?

Depends on the time of the day. From 7-9AM and 4-6PM, it's like 35MPH.

If there are wrecks, it's 0MPH.

I witnessed a state trooper pull someone over on I-10 between Bluebonnet and Siegen several weeks ago.

It's 60 in the city and they most definitely set up speed traps off and on.

From Juban Road down 1-12 to Downtown BR = 10 mph speed limit. Just drove through the biggest cluster frick ever and is has been this way non-stop for decades.

The faster you get home the more time you have to study. Smart.

If you go fast enough, they will pull you over.

90+, I was trying to save fuel.

The government knows you will speed. So if it is 70 they intent to keep you under 80

I never see cops period.
and i'll generally go 80-85, and i don't feel like i'm going that fast b/c most everyone else is doing the same when traffic isn't bad and the interstate is flowing easily.

About 1501 FPS if you want to outrun gunfire.
