The street is outside of the residential limits, with sporadic businesses on the sides. The street is also a double lane on both sides. The limit is 25, and people routinely drive 35 or more. Going 25 is actually kind of dangerous, because it doesn’t *feel* like a 25 zone area due to the wide lanes, and businesses. Honestly, if I were a zone expert, I would give it 30 or 35. It does not feel like speeding in that area (as it would in a residential area). Also, it leads into a one-lane local highway where the speed is 45. So, someone who is driving from 45 into 25 feels like they’re going too slow for that kind of condition, until they finally reach the residential area, which makes it natural to go 25.
As a result of the tricky conditions, many people drive by me when I’m going 25, or tailgate me. I’ve observed many people exceeding the limit (but don’t look like they’re speeding –except for a few excessively speed-happy folks, of course).
