It also has the pleasant side effect of being maybe the one road in the city travelling through a pedestrian-heavy area where one can drive the speed limit without getting tailgated like crazy. Just try driving down 23rd Street at 25 mph sometime to see how absurd it is that they lowered that speed limit without making any other pedestrian-friendly improvements to the road. Arguably more dangerous now with a few people trying to go the speed limit, while many people fly past at 35 mph since that's still what the road was designed for.
