Like one side of the road will have 45 mph, and the opposite side will have 35. Why do they do that?

It is not all that uncommon for a road to have different speed limits going different directions. Things such as curves, accesses etc effect one side and not the other.

I live in South Carolina and had just this instance happen within the past two years. The stretch of road had undergone construction for widening and a bridge replacement. The westbound traffic (outbound) was posted 35 MPH and the eastbound traffic (inbound) was posted 45 MPH. These signs were both changed to 45 MPH, apparently after enough people complained to the county (in court) about the situation.

What state do you live in? That'z crazy unless...
Is it possible that the speed changes from 45 to 35 in one direction and changes from 35 to 45 in the other direction?

One can be the minimum speed limit, the other the maximum speed.

if they are facing oppsite directions it is what pepper said.
There ar esome states who actually post split limits on the same road, it is rediculous but one is for cars and the othe ris for big trucks.

The landscape might be a reason.
