B34 through Ann Arbor at 4:20. are there some slow orders around AA on the MICH line? i heard them say coming up to track speed and wondered if they were coming out of a slow order.

Limit speed 25-35 mph in city

[leo28150]

It's a little faster than that, Owl.

Janga, you should put the date in your thread title so there's less confusion about which day you're referring to. Thanks for the B34 headsup

No, they can't faster between on 36mp to 37mp in Ann Arbor.

[JANGAJONGA]
