35?

[Red Arrow]

Did the City of Tulsa get a bargain on "Speed Limit 35" signs?  They are popping up all over the southern edge of Tulsa. There is some roadwork going on but these are regular white speed limit signs, preceded by "Reduced Speed Ahead" signs, not the orange temporary ones.

This time of year it's pretty hard to drive faster than 25 in South Tulsa.

Depends on the time of day along 121st and 111th.

New mayor....new fundraising....just a hunch.

35 seems fast enough for a regular city street to me.

Arterials or side streets?

40 is a decent limit for an arterial.  Figure 10 over is a common speed and you can actually get places.  Yale?  Harvard?  Lewis?  Yup.

I would consider 121st, 111th, and a bit of Yale near 111th to be arterials.  Most of the housing also has community entrances from the arterials so there aren't many, if any, individual driveways. 

I have always considered posting the limit at 10 under reasonable speed to be BS.  I don't want a ticket so I go the limit or slightly less. I don't want to get run over. Except for revenue generation, the 85% rule seems to work.  Post the limit at what 85% of the drivers go. (Excluding the "rush hour")

35 along 21st west of Utica seems reasonable.  I don't know what the city is doing down south.  When the traffic backs up at the stop signs, you can't go anywhere anyway so the speed limit is meaningless during times it would have a reason to be low.

Reduce the speed limit city wide to 25mph, and we could all drive golf carts!

Reduce it to 3 or 4 mph and we could all walk.  Just think, no smelly cars, trucks, buses etc.  Speeding ticket revenue could be obtained from speed demon bicyclists.  The only negative I can think of is that no one would put up with it and Tulsa would become a ghost town.

I can flat-land it at 25 MPH with an HR of 183 for an hour, 30 MPH if I'm in the mood to show off for about 2 or 3 minutes then bonk.  I'm in!

Need a tailwind?

Tailwinds always appreciated.

Eat at El Guapos.. instant tailwind.

More like jet propulsion.   Also creates a desire for a temporary headwind.

Did anyone ever take Riverside from 101st until it ran into Sheridan (by that point I think it's called River Rd.), going 70+, back in the day?
