The posted speed limit on Eddie Dowling highway is 40mph.

edit: its actually 35 in some spots according to google maps street view.

speed limits are not a suggestion... they are an agreed upon speed that everyone can travel safely. how is a random driver supposed to know that you like driving 75 in a 55. they cannot. so, the sign says travel "x" speed. do that. everyone can agree to that.

35mph? On the 147? I know there's construction on it but 35mph? I see people in Altimas driving 50mph on Charles Street! 35 on Eddie I have never seen a single person driving 35 or something less than 55 on Eddie Dowling hwy, I don't know man these laws are dated when people used to ride horses with wagons.

it's 146A actually... and yes. it's 35mph on the split toward Woonsocket/Walmart/Lowes. Street-View shows a 45MPH marker further down after the light. It doesn't turn to 55mph (going left at the split) until well after the corner of the split, to which it stays 55 until you hit the MA/RI border.

You can argue this until you're blue in the font here, but the truth is you are the reason this article happened. Please. Just slow down and follow the real existing road rules. You are far less of a danger following the speed limit than you are driving to pass everyone. End of story.

Again you do you, and just keep the left lane clear, you want me to go 45 on the 147 so someone total my car and it would be completely my fault, could you please tell me when you travel on the 147 so I avoid it?
