Direction determines speed

See if this makes sense to you. I was driving to a client’s house yesterday to fix a computer. As soon as I turned on one of the roads, there was a speed limit sign showing 35 (north bound traffic). Almost a mile after passing that sign, another speed limit sign is on the other side of the road showing 45 mph (south bound traffic). There was no sign on the northbound side showing 45 mph.

What the hell? I wonder if anyone on the south bound side has ever been pulled over by a cop sitting on the north bound side for speeding even though they were going 45? I played it safe and took a different road home (one that has the same speed limit on both sides).

Before I forget: Happy New Year!

That seems to make no sense. Maybe northbound was downhill and south up, or something like that. Or maybe the amount of traffic on each side.
