  5. I have lived in Madison my entire life and have never heard this stretch of road called that. Posted by: packerbug on Jul 22, 2008 (2) (2)
  6. I prefer to use the term "Bone Zone," not only because of its hilarity, but also because the formal name of Speedway is a bit of a misnomer. The road has wide open lanes and is rarely very busy, yet the speed limit is only 30 miles per hour. If you're headed toward downtown on Speedway, the slight downhill grade of the street is enough to push you over the speed limit. Watch out for the "Speedtrap" near Speedway's intersection with Regent Street. I have seen police camp out there many times. Posted by: uwmad09 on Aug 10, 2008 (1) (3)
