Does anyone know why the speed limit going north from downtown is lower than going south into downtown? The roads feel pretty similar to me, but one is set at 40 and the other at 50.

Right, I get that. I was just curious if there was a reason why the speed limit is different northbound vs. southbound between Howard St and Pleasant St.

Can you tell us more about what sections of road you’re talking about?

Going south, the speed limit is 40mph from Exit 4 to Exit one because of the curvature of the road.
