As far as I can tell there is a Business 20 in FD but not in WC.

Nice feature, but a Volvo. I would have called it my wife’s car.
LOL you're just being a jerk, but it's been fun discussing the issue with you. Also if the highway Patrol is radaring people on the backside of a hill on the interstate I'll flash my headlights to give the opposite bound people a heads up.
Not everyone drives the same roads every day.
I got one of these in Ankeny awhile back. Was surprised by it but apparently that's iowa law. Bored suburban cops must have gotten a memo out.
Lol, no I'm not, I'm just defending my position. I simply think if people don't want to get caught by speed cameras then they should follow the laws.
Don't look now but your making a great argument against cameras. No cameras mean more cops patrolling and catching texters!
I hope you drive a new stretch of road someday and get 50 tickets mailed to 2 weeks laters.
Absolutely, get your ticket in real time so the problem is CORRECTED! I mean that's the point right?
It's coming, show me a place that has had cameras and took them down. 5 years from now they will be everywhere!

When Cedar Rapids turned on their cameras on the I380 S-curve some years back, it was no secret - they made it very well known they’d start sending out tickets, and if you were clocked at 12+ over, you’d get one.
A couple of weeks later one of my co-workers was telling me how angry his daughter was, because she’d suddenly got a batch of speed camera tickets in the mail. Which means not only was she not paying attention to the news, but that she was also going at least 67-70 mph in a 55 mph zone on a normal basis multiple times.
I couldn’t conjure up much sympathy for her. Some people you just can’t reach.
Last October, had a guy run a stop sign off a county road onto 163. Approximately 70 feet in front of my wife, who was driving at 65 on 163. It is a rude awakening when you can't even say Oh F**K before contact, or even apply the brakes. She left no skid marks prior to contact. 5 seconds later, Cysmiley was checking extremities and thought processes to see if still functioning. I now consider myself a crash dummy and don't trust people to stop at stop signs. People get pissed when I slow down when someone makes a hard stop when I have the right of way; tough sh*t; tell others not to make hard stops at stop signs.
What should Cedar Rapids have done different? Should they have sent the tickets out immediately to correct the problem this young lady had? (Maybe even hand delivered them...). Or should they have waited a few more weeks to send the tickets and grabbed more money?
I suppose we should fine people going too slow as well?
Do Slow Drivers Cause More Crashes Than Speeders?
Slower drivers can pose a significant threat on the road.

"According to federal and state studies, driving slower than the average speed is more likely to cause an accident than speeding. Driving too slowly can make other drivers around you constantly brake and speed up, which can be frustrating, cause confusion, and lead to an accident."
Yeah, if they aren't going the minimum posted speed limits on the interstate I would be ok fining them also.I suppose we should fine people going too slow as well?
