You said you slow down for the cameras set at 11 over so now I’m confused. I don’t care if people drive faster, I’m not the police. If they don’t bother me they can do 120 for all I care.

Because it's a stop sign and not a stop unless nobody is around sign, they'd have to make the signs way bigger or the font way smaller if they wanted to change that.
You really are triggered!! Slow down for 2 minutes of your life and spell correctly!!
know a guy who stopped at a stop sign and then ran a lady over who was walking through. Many times there are other things crossing than just vehicles.
The speed limit is 65 through there, i alwasy run 70 on 163 and then will slow it down to 65 through there.
So you are ok with someone driving 120 and endangering you and your loved ones as long as they aren't "bothering" you?
So that's inherently more dangerous than going 36 in a 25mph residential zone with kids playing outside?
Why is it dangerous in Iowa but not in Iowa they are 5 higher than Iowa. It's a money grab.
If I was endangered I think that would be bothered. I assume most drivers are idiots so I always check for people driving excessively fast. Police officers in my area drive those speeds on 2 lanes with no lights or sirens and say it’s more dangerous if they run them so I just always drive like one could be coming up behind me. I also drive like the other person at the intersection is going to run the red light. A lot of crappy drivers out there.
I think if we get to a point where people have no idea if someone is going to stop at a stop sign because they "didn't see anyone", yeah, probably at the very least as dangerous.
I feel like this can be a money grab, but also hilarious that people get more than one of these in their life. Basically definition of an idiot tax.
I've seen and heard more accidents along Grand Avenue in Ames at 20th & Grand along with 24th & Grand with people trying to beat the stop light and they aren't rolling through them at 3 mph. Wednesday afternoon someone on foot got hit along 20th and Duff. It's not all on drivers, pedestrians and cyclists think they are immune to the laws to.
I'm going to assume you mean Kansas, I've driven on I-70 and the speed limit is 75. It's also a different state, with a different DOT, different driving conditions etc. Speed limits aren't just pulled out of thin air, they've studied the stretch of road and came to a conclusion 75 is the limits.
There're also a big stretch from KC to Lawrence that runs 4 or 5 wide and when you start getting further out west the traffic isn't as heavy and the landscape isn't nearly as tight and congested as I-80 in Iowa with wall to wall semis.
This thread just reminded me that we never paid my wife's camera ticket she got on 235 a couple years ago. Seems to have disappeared because we haven't heard anything since. She got popped racing downtown to the hospital to meet one of the kids.
I did find out recently that in Grimes yellow means red. My mistake of thinking yellow meant yellow ended up running me about 275 bucks plus whatever jacked rates I end up getting from insurance when it renews.

Iowa legislation set the interstate speed limits in Iowa, DOT was against it originally. So your statement that they are studied isn’t a fact.
I worded it poorly, interstate speed limits are arbitrary by state Iowa 70, Nebby 75, So. Dak 80. Getting a ticket in Iowa is 1 over in So. Dak. Iowa keeps their speed limits artificially low. county roads are 55. Most states are 60 at least.
It is obvious to all who follow the issue that speed cams are a money grab for the local municipalities.
