We used to live on Charles St and helped to implement this speed limit, because at the time 45 would be 50 or 55 to some, there is now a bike path there and a lot more pedisterian traffic and its a residential street, so the limit should stay. If you want to drive faster take Newburg or Harrison

I don't want it increased! I live on Charles Street. Even with the lower speed limit people are doing 45-50 mph. The street has no shoulders, a deep ditch and rural mailboxes so fast cars make it dangerous to mow, pick up litter or get the mail.
