Before answering, consider this: 466 and 466A are also, for the most part, divided 4 lane highways that have intersections and vehicles exiting parking lots, yet the speed limit there is 45.

STRAIGHT vs CURVED Corridors
this difference can be easily
observed using Google Maps
the 2 primary corridors that run north and south thru the original Village communities, namely, Buena Vista and Morse from SR 42 down to SR 44 were purposely constructed to curve and bend from one end to the other with the use of Roundabouts as a Transportation Engineering means of “
TRAFFIC CALMING”
Be mindful that we have Roundabouts
approx every 3/4 miles apart - even
closer in some areas.
Could you imagine how many
“REDUCED SPEED AHEAD”
signs would actually need to
be posted up and down those
roadways to accommodate 45 mph
ENJOY the SCENERY
and be COURTEOUS
