It isn't, nor is it flat. 40 is way too fast for even a pickup, much less a bus full of people. It winds it's way up my mesa, then an up and down straight-away that I understand is hard to resist, followed by semi-switchbacks down to the creek level where the adjoining property lies. Posted county speeds are 25 and 15 on curves. County signs warn that the road is not maintained. I used to have the stretch along my fenceline graded and graveled once a year or so at my own expense, but don't anymore. Haven't since that issue came up. As it is now a jeep has a hard time going the posted speed. The property has since sold and all is quiet.
