Have you or anyone tried to do anything about this particular suburban 65mph street?

What is the longest distance between light controlled intersections on this street? What is the longest between any type of intersection?

Which reminds me, the gov.(city?) is doing a speed study on one street near my house (currently 40mph). Would it be wrong to drive a loop for an hour a day and pass the sensors at 20mph every time for the duration of the study? Would it help bring down the 85% Yeah, probably not.
