Iowa Raises Speed Limits on Some Rural Roads | Des Moines News

from Des Moines News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Iowa just raised the default speed limit on select rural roads from 55 to 60 mph, but it’s not universal—only applies to paved, two-lane state highways without existing posted limits. Curves, driveways, and traffic volume may keep some roads at 55. Signs are being updated, navigation apps will eventually reflect changes, and county engineers may set different limits locally. Drivers must always obey posted signs as the law—speed limits are tailored to road conditions, not just numbers on a map.
