Speed limit on Pennsylvania Avenue is a time warp of sorts

Can anyone explain what the speed limit on Pennsylvania Avenue

(between Altura Avenue and Foothill Boulevard) in the city of La

Crescenta is?

Let me answer the question. It depends which direction one drives.

Drivers heading north from Altura should obey a speed limit of 35

mph. However, a sign of 30 mph is posted just past the Mobil gas

station as traffic is turned into Pennsylvania from Foothill heading

south. Am I confused or dreaming?

How can the drivers on the northbound side of Pennsylvania Avenue

have an advantage (or disadvantage) of five extra miles of speed

limit versus the southbound drivers?

May be our hardworking city traffic engineers are able to justify

the [discrepancy].
