Vox Sciurorum
Welcome to Massachusetts...
...we hate you.
Entering Massachusetts onto Falls Road in Mount Washington.
The speed limit is not 15. As there is no speed zone authorized, exceeding 40 miles per hour for 1/4 mile is considered evidence of unreasonable and unlawful speed. People seem to drive 30 on the generally narrow road, slowing to 20 when meeting another car on the sharp curves.
The guardrail change at the state line connects scenic brown guardrail probably installed by NYSDOT with generic silver rail installed by the town of Mount Washington in a recent reconstruction project. The small town likely had no money in the budget to upgrade. It took a large grant from the state to allow rebuilding at all.
