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?

FYI the limit going northbound has been 60 km/h until north of 114th Ave for... basically forever. The speed limit change from 70 km/h to 60 going southbound occurs at exactly the same spot the northbound limit goes from 60 to 70, so I wouldn't waste your time barking up that tree. (The speed limit signage in the median share opposite sides of the
exact same post...)
