This is a popular route to/from Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth. Parts are very commercial with shopping, etc., and parts are more rural. All along this route there is "agressive" radar enforcement.

There are a couple of School Zones along the route as well, where radar is very active at school hours. Speed limit will drop from 45/40 to 25 in those zones, and often the radar is setup right at the sign. There is NO speed over 25mph that is allowed in those strict areas.
