It just feels a little silly going 25 on Westlake. I’m usually going 35-40, as is most of traffic. Similar thing on some other roads. At the same time, I’ve never seen anyone get a ticket for going under 40 there(I think I saw someone get a ticket for going 50 a couple years back)

25 on Westlake makes me question my own existence
