US Highway 95 near MacDonalds

Hawthorne, NevadaOct 03, 20072 Comments

North on 95, after clearing built up area and MacDonalds, nothing but desert (and Army ammunition depot in distance)on both sides. 4 lane highway with 35MPH limit for about 3 miles north until well clear of RR track. Low limit is allegedly justified by "ammunition trains." Pay attention because unconscious urge is to speed up – you have cleared the town.

Comments:
The 4 lane has a very short distance at 35mph. The majority is 45mph, with 3 (three) 45 mph signs posted thoughout the mile and half distance. Don't speed and you don't have to worry about it.

I was caught in this one first time travelling north past macdonalds. Unconsciously increased speed from the town 25mph because there was no more built up area on wide, straight 4 lane with center turn lane and wide shoulders. Was distracted and engaged in a heated conversation with companion. State trooper ticketed me for 55 in a 35. And, yes, he explained that the speed limit was low because of the ammo trains that crossed the road further north. I have been through many times since and have never seen an ammo train in the vicinity.
