Yeah, Labster, those two drivers I saw yesterday? Four lanes (two each way), one center lane for turns, houses on one side, no raised center divider. Traffic lights every quarter mile. Speed limit is 40. I don't think 55 is a safe speed in that area even if there's no traffic at all, unless you've got lights and siren running.
Edit: Oh, yeah, and hilly enough there's spots that are effectively blind at those speeds, and once you get to the area where there's houses on BOTH sides it's all downhill in the direction they were headed.
(Most of the houses on that street have been there since 1945-1955, so the street wasn't nearly as busy normally when the houses were new. Even 30 years ago they stopped building houses on the thoroughfares like that because it was becoming clear that houses on thoroughfares had become a really bad idea.)
