All along the Boulevard the speed changes, but unlike most localities which have numbers ending in "5’s" or "0’s" the speeds change arbitrarily. It starts down near Petersburg at 25, changes to 35 then 40 and back down to 30 all in about a 5 mile stretch. This area has been notoious for catching speeders for decades.
