Back to page topUnless otherwise posted, the speed limit is 55. Curious why you guys feel it is a slow road? I drive it frequently also and think it is pretty straight and open except for the big S curves. I have no problem driving 55 except those curves, excp;et during harvest season when all roads become a hazard with combines etc.

Back to page topI was referring more specifically to the short section of CSAH 34 between Minnesota Highway 24 and U.S. Highway 12. To me, that seems part-country, part-city because of the development toward U.S. Highway 12.
It kind of reminds me of McLeod County Road 115 coming into Hutchinson from the west. (It was the detour when construction was on 7). There are a lot of entries to the highway, so you have to be careful even though the posted limit is 55.
