I was there last Summer. Going north it goes 45-55-45-55-65. It has "Spreed Limit Strictly Enforced" signs, but the whole point is to catch people. I understand people need to be alert when driving, but the whole point of it has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with generating revenue. Side note- It reminds me of this terrible movie:

If the purpose is to catch people, it is catching people that are begging to be caught. If you get caught there, you are not paying any attention to your driving.

That said, I've seen what unrestrained speeding is like in a small stretch as in their center of town. Sorry, but without slowing people down there, that stretch would be loud and unsafe and rather unpleasant. And frankly, without a real smack upside the head, they aren't going to slow down. Seen places like this with basic speed sign changes and they are completely ignored. Fact is that the majority of drivers are either inconsiderate or inattentive, and have no concept of the noise and safety issues they inflict on the areas they drive through. And I speak from a lot experience on that.

Still taking about Waldo, not anywhere else.
