Speed Limit Differences at State Lines of 10 mph or more

[Thing 342]

Is there anywhere else where two sides of the same road have a different speed limit? I remember once upon a time this was the case on I-79 between the WV line and I-70, due to a mine subsidence problem, but not sure if it's the case or not.

On US-460 between Narrows, VA and the WV line, the curvier westbound lanes have a limit of 40 MPH, whereas the eastbound lanes remain at 60 MPH.

I've posted previously unintentional situations like this, both on NJ county routes. In one, the last Speed Limit 25 and first Speed Limit 40 are a few blocks apart implying that it's 25 in one direction and 40 in the other. In the other, the speed limit was lowered from 50 to 40 in one direction, but not the other.

Redoing my post, I-78 EB goes from 65, then suddenly becomes 55 after entering NJ. WB goes from 55 until MP 1, and then for the last mile I-78 WB is briefly 65 before being reduced to a speed limit of 5 because of the toll after the bridge. I may be wrong though.

I-78 is normally 65 right thru the state line between PA & NJ, although construction had the limit temporarily down to 50 in NJ.  At the toll plaza, the express EZ Pass should be supporting 65 thru the lanes.  Amazingly, GSV hasn't been updated since 2008 near the toll plaza.

I shouldn't be quoting an old post, but I refer to the cash lanes.

I don't like bumping such an old thread, but it looks like ND 200 drops from 65 to 30 once crossing into Minnesota.

I'm seeing a drop from 65 to 55 in GSV.

Oops must have missed that sign. It drops to 30 very soon after that.

NY/MA 23: 55 in NY, 30 in MA.

Where it enters the town of Halstad. Typical speed limit drop when entering a town, nothing to do with the state line.

I seem to recall US-15 dropping from 65 in Pennsylvania, where it's a freeway around Gettysburg, to 55 in Maryland.

The inverse happens going from Maryland (65) to PA (55) on I-70. That 55 mph stretch in PA is utterly pointless.

Since the thread was bumped, I'll note the spot mentioned above on I-70 near Hancock now goes from 70 mph in Maryland to 55 mph in Pennsylvania and vice versa.

I suspect NY has a handful of 55 2 lane roads that become 45 immediately in PA

Ones I checked and went 55>45:

NY 19 > PA 449
NY 14 > PA 14
NY 26 > PA 267
NY 79 > PA 92
Chautauqua CR 69 > PA 69

Not sure if this qualifies, but I-87/I-287/NY 17 near Suffern, NY. The Thruway mainline is (impressively) 65 MPH here. If you take Exit 15 for 287/17, you immediately cross into Mahwah, NJ where the limit drops to 55. Though if you stay on 287 south for another mile or so, it jumps back to 65.

[US 89]

The speed limit on US 191 north of Flaming Gorge gets a bump from 55 to 70 mph at the Wyoming state line. I want to say SR/WYO 150 to the west does the same thing.

One I totally forgot about is US 52/US 119 crossing for the final time northbound from Kentucky into West Virginia. WV's speed limit is 65, while Kentucky's is 55.
