Multiple Choice

Speed Limit What???

This should be an easy one for all the sharp WeatherBeans out there.

What is the speed limit in the vicinity of Barry Road and East Side Drive?

a) 25 mph
b) 35 mph
c) 40 mph
d) 45 mph
e) all the above

Warning...trick question, maybe.

Okay, so you sneaked a peak to see the answer.  The answer, depending on your point of view is...e.  If you are at the corner of Barry on East Side, a right hand turn on Barry is 25 mph, work zone, who knows what it will be after construction.  Straight ahead on Amity, burn rubber it is 40 mph.  Take a left on Barry, although the sign is covered up, I believe it is 35 mph (the south side of the road has both 25 and 35mph signs.  A little further west on Barry it is 45 mph.  As you recall, prior to the conversion of the two lane Barry road and old bridge it was 45 mph.  Ah, the good old days.

One conversation with an informed individual leads me to believe our friends from KCMO will take advantage of the confusion in speed limits to literally cash in (your cash) and conduct numerous "traffic surveillance" exercises...speed traps.  Drivers beware.
