Iowa Speed Limit Contingencies
Neil Bratney 21 April 2005 03:04:20
	As a contingency of the speed limit increase to 70 MPH, Gov. Vilsack is commissioning a... er... commission to study what parts of the Iowa interstate system should be 70 and what should remain 65. It's been a few years since any state increased its speed limit, I believe. Have other states gone through this process of assessing highways and their appropriate speeds? What decisions have they made? In my opinion, roads should always be graded like this, and speed limits set not by legislature, but by actual road conditions, engineering and traffic (though not excluding general guidelines placed by legislature for consistancy's sake). My thoughts for Iowa interstates: I-80 55 from Nebraska to I 29 south 65 to US 6 in Council Bluffs 70 to the Ashworth Road underpass 65 to Altoona 70 to I 380 65 near Iowa City, then 70 all the way to Illinois I-680 in Iowa: 70 I-35 70 all the way except IA 5 to the north Ankeny exit IA 931 (65 mph) I-29 70 from Missouri to US 275 / IA 92 65 the one mile to I 80 55 to IA 192 (north exit) 65 to I-680 / Crescent 70 to Sioux Gateway Airport 65 to around mile 146 where the interstate turns west 55 through downtown to exit 149 and 65 the last few miles to SD. I don't know I-380 well enough to make recommendations. And I do believe that all the US highway expressways are appropriate at 65, primarily because most have gravel shoulders. Neil PS. Does anyone ever call him Governor Ball-sack?

The short segment north of US 20 into Waterloo and the segment within Cedar Rapids (US 30/151 to IA 100) are appropriate at 55. The US 20 duplex and from US 30/151 down to I-80 could go either way (65 or 70). Froggie \| Underway onboard USS McInerney (FFG-8) \| http://www.ajfroggie.com/roads/

	If most LA freeways can be posted at 65, I can't see why any urban Interstate in Iowa should be posted less than 60. Guy Olsen, PE (NJ)

Two 2003 laws increasing speed limits show the possible range of reactions: North Dakota posted the new statutory speed limits with little road-specific study. Oregon DOT decided not to take any action. (The very minor speed limit increases in urban areas would have been legal under the old law.) -- John Carr (jfc@mit.edu)

	Back in 1995, in California and Nevada, they had compliance data that indicated that 85%tile speeds exceeded what would be the new state maximum on over 500 miles of roads in Nevada and some 2000 km of roads in California. It took California about a month to get around to putting up the signs. Nevada (which before 1974 didn't have speed limits in rural areas) had them up as soon as they were allowed. It took California about a month (since they had to be posted over many more existing signs). In California, they even posted 70 MPH is a few places where it was illegal and had subsequently to drop it down to 65 MPH.

	Any thoughts as to the level at which: 1. most state troopers now give tickets? 2. most state troopers will give tickets at the higher speeds? -- Jonathan Grobe Books Browse our inventory of thousands of used books at: http://www.grobebooks.com

That's fine with me, as I plan on driving 72 in any both cases. Now, I'm simply closer to legality. (I generally drove 74-75 across Nebraska and felt comfortable.) NAB

	Most state troopers, I think, now give tickets at a 5-7 mph cushion. This is, in part, due to the fact that budget cuts have depleted the numbers of troopers out there. Add that to record gas prices, and the interstates let alone other highways are not exactly swarming with troopers. Vilsack wants a more or less "zero tolerance" policy, but I fail to see how that will actually happen. The original legislation called for the ticket money to be specifically for the state patrol, but he changed it so the money goes to the general fund. (Frankly, I don't know if he can do that.) Supposedly, this is for appearances. <sarcasm> After all, a state trooper giving you a ticket for 75 in a 70 has to be unethical and only to benefit his own coffers.</sarcasm> While I suppose most troopers are going after the 75-85 drivers, they now will probably go after the 80-90 drivers.

	NO WAY!!! The segment of I-380 between Cedar Rapids and I-80 is full of pot holes! It's barely safe to even have the speed limit at 65, with all the semis that travel on that stretch if highway!
