Iowa Speed Limits Rising to 60 | Des Moines News

Starting July 1st, most Iowa two-lane and rural roads will see their default speed limit jump from 55 to 60 mph—except interstates, which stay at 70. Governor Reynolds says this reflects what drivers are already doing, but safety comes first: roads with tight curves, driveways, or stop signs will keep their 55 mph limit. Signs are being updated, but it’s a slow process, and the DOT is also installing guardrails and adjusting curves to handle the higher speeds. Always check the posted limit—this change isn’t universal, and safety remains the top priority.
