We were on I-80 last Sunday returning from Chicago. The speed limit is a joke. People are flying by, way over even the reputed grace limit of 5 MPH over. No state patrol cars anywhere. I kept thinking about the governor saying “I trust Iowans to do the right thing.”
I think the cameras are a good idea but I do have issues with the ones on interstate highways like the ones in LeClaire and Cedar Rapids and my guess is there are more examples. I don't think a local municipalities should have jurisdiction over a federal highway.
I, too, have been a victim of a camera. It was on Brady just north of Locust. A poorly marked school zone. Also, the hours that it is in effect differ from those in Rock Island, which I am used to. It would be nice to have some uniformity.
