This, of course, makes no sense since the school zone is on 466A, about 1/4 mile west of Dixie Ave. Assuming it was posted backward, meaning pulled over on 466A after turning from 441, then the OP was traveling WEST.

It actually makes perfect sense. The driver went through the school zone on 466A and continued east to 441, where after turning onto it, they were pulled over. It may have taken the officer a while to get to the OP due to other traffic, running the plate before actually pulling them over, etc.

The speed limit on 466A in that area is 35 mph while the speed limit on 441 in that area is 50, I believe.
There may be some other peculiarities with the story but the direction of travel is not in question.
