From Manchester Rd in Middletown, north to Franklin, there is about 5 miles posted at 35 mph. The speed limit was changed about 1 year or so ago from 50 or 55 mph, which it should be. Local belief is that no traffic study was done, and it was a political gift to a commissioner or someone important who lives on the road. A year ago it was being HIGHLY enforced. I got a ticket when I was just entering the area that used to be 35 because I hadn’t noticed the new posting earlier. I think it is still enforced because most traffic stays at 35 mph even through some of the parts where there are no houses. The same road in Middletown, south from Manchester Rd, with similar house spacing has a 50 mph speed limit.
