Two miles south of Richfield Springs on NY-28 the speed limit is lowered. In the winter months, Mid September to Mid May it is 45 mph. But in the summer mid May through mid September it is further reduced to 35 mph. Part of this area there are summer camps very close to the road and the low speed limit is justified. However some of the stretch is open farm land. I have lived here for over 50 years and the open road area used to be 55 mph. It is hard for me to remember the lower speed limit. It is a rural state highway with a 35 mph speed limit. Especially in the summer the road is heavily patrolled. Just today, two speeders have been pulled over in my driveway.
