Talk:Speed limits in the United States by jurisdiction

AARoads forum comes to mind as an excellent place for that sort of discussion). The sections for Alabama and Washington (state), to name just two, seem well-done because they give an overview of state practice instead of trying to catalog every last little fact. Of course, some exceptions are notable, such as the 85-mph speed limit on one road in Texas. But why do we need a list of Mississippi's four-lane divided highways, or a ridiculous list of North Carolina's roads? It seems like this is turning into a trivia repository. Unfortunately, that's always going to be a losing battle on Knowledge, however. I don't have the time to try to go through this to clean out all the esoterica.

is the one to have changed the map on Commons to break out the counties in Minnesota. From SpeedMcCool's talk page on Commons, there was discussion with interest about breaking down other states by county as well. Unless some state is actually regulating speed limits by county, I think that we should
1001:
Hi, all! I live in Tennessee, and the information for the state is partially outdated and partially incorrect. It also contains irrelevant opinions and subjective thoughts on how well-posted limits are without citation. I'm new here, but speed limits are a major special interest for me. Just going to

It seems to me the biggest problem is that people want to load this up with every little bit of trivial garbage they can cram in, rather than using it as a big-picture type of thing. There are far more appropriate places to go for information about, or to discuss, the little esoteric exceptions (the

Ditto — Washington state is accurate as far as statewide maximums go, but does not accurately reflect e.g. the Seattle metro area, where the limits are all 60, or even most of the rural parts of the state, where the limits are 70. 75 is technically the maximum that can be set, but in practice it is
753:
Shortly after the map was created, Tarrant County (Fort Worth, TX) got its first 75 speed limit (on the TX 121 Express Lanes). It also looks like Johnson County (Weatherford, TX) is marked a 65, but I-20 is a 70 throughout the county. Other areas in Texas may also need updating, especially with the
1182:
Yes, I broke Minnesota down by county. There is no speed limit regulation by county in MN, but there is regulation by highway type. I looked at the highest grade highway in each county, and colored the counties appropriately. I only did MN because that is the state I am most familiar
1139:
This is a seemingly random choice made by a random IP. Is there a particular reason this is the case? I know in Texas’ case it has to do with the single 85 mph toll road, but Minnesota does not have such an anomaly. I say we should change this back.
819:
I see a lot "translations" of MPH to KPH in brackets. I also see a lot of "translations" missing. I wish there'd always bee speeds in KPH unit available. I could add them in brackets. Should I do that? Or maybe is there a better way to handle this?

This article is very long, and while not all states have enough content to get their own article at this point, many still do. I propose splitting off at least the largest sections, such as

If it is inappropriate to color in MN's counties as I did, and TX uses the same system, it would be inappropriate to color in TX's counties too, in my opinion.
