75mph signs start going up in KS
75mph Signs Go Up, As Speed Limit Goes Up Friday Starting tomorrow, drivers on some highways will be able to go 75 miles per hour. Reporter:Shawn Wheat Email Address:[email protected]Thursday, June 30, 2011 Starting tomorrow, drivers on some highways will be able to go 75 miles per hour. The Kansas Department of Transportation has been placing the new speed limit signs along highways Thursday in preparation for the change on Friday. According to a news release from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the following location will see the speed limit change: • I-135 from a half-mile north of the 85th Street interchange in Harvey County to I-70 near Salina. • I-70 from the Colorado state line to just west of Topeka in Shawnee County. • I-35 from U.S. 50 just east of Emporia to a mile east of the Sunflower/Edgerton Interchange in Johnson County. • U.S. 81 from I-70 near Salina north to K-106. • U.S. 69 from just six-tenths of a mile north of the north junction of U.S. 54 in Bourbon County to the 199th Street Interchange in Johnson County. • The Kansas Turnpike from the Oklahoma state line to K-7 in Wyandotte County. A total of 807 miles of Kansas roads will be 75 miles per hour. KDOT hopes to have all the signs changed in time for the 4th of July holiday weekend. |

Maybe your brain is still invisible when in Iowa.

Yeah, you planted a seed of doubt when you said it was 65, because even with all the times I've driven up there and back, I wasn't 100% sure it was 70. 65mph would just mean that I'd try to keep it under 75.

I remember it being 70 in Iowa, because when I made the move to Wisconsin I just about aborted my move when I drove on I94. It's still ****ing 65 there.

I know it was 65 for a long time, because I was always happy to see the 70mph sign at the Missouri border. Plus I-29 has been nothing but one long construction zone between Omaha and Hamburg for the past 3 years so it's not like the speed limit matters anyway.

Ohio is still 65 and I set my cruise on 72. I don't think its worth their time unless its 10 over.

The speed limit needs to be 88.

As much as I hate being stuck behind some dumbass going 45 in the 55 construction zones every freaking time I drive through, I'm glad they're fixing it... at one time it looked like it had been 30 years since they last paved I29, and the patchwork in most places was awful.

I don't know if you ever drive in Pennsylvania, but when I drove through that state in the 1990s they had some of the most restrictive speed limits and laws I can ever remember.

That is by far, not an exclusive Kansas problem. I put in an above average number of highway miles per year, and from my experience, it is usually some woman on her cell phone, that feels entitled to the left lane. |

At least I'm starting to see some signs telling people to stay the **** out of left lanes unless passing.
