Act. Todd storm lake legislator gary worthan is sponsoring the bill. He says the dot tells him the the average speed on iowas interstates is 72. All the more reason to boost it to 75. If youre not going to in 470 to slow that traffic down, lets make it legal. Todd one driver we talked with lung interstate north of des moines agrees. Most of the people are going that speed anyway, so if someone is going 70 they are actually slowing the traffic down. Todd in fact, in a very unscientific test, we set our Cruise Control at 70 along i35 and traffic constantly passed us. But not everybody is convinced faster is better. The thing is, they go fast enough as it is. In the winter time, people need to slow down. You know, its a trade off. If you want to look at safety and thats all you want to look at, it should be 25 to 30 miles an hour. Is dead set against raising the speed limit. The next step for this bill is the full Transportation Committee and the iowa house. That could happen this week. S
