Why would they reduce the speed on Barlow AND add in that traffic light? Going 60 there feels unreasonably slow. It's also 70 going NB on Barlow right after 114th, so for the same stretch of road it's 70 in one direction, but 60 in the other direction?
Anyone know when it went from 70 down to 60 in that stretch? I'm wondering if I plead guilty (I was going 76 so still speeding technically even if it was 70) but say I was not aware of the changed speed limit if I might get a reduction? My buddy said they changed it like a year ago, but I'm skeptical as I drive that stretch a lot. I'm also wondering if saying that the same stretch of road going NB is 70 and not 60 is confusing might help my case?

It was there in May 2021. It doesn't show up in the 2019 image, but it looks like they repaved then, so maybe that is when it went up:

Assuming this is the spot.
