70 Mile Speed Limit Fails to Halt Fatalities in Iowa
An Iowa paper notes six deaths over the Fourth of July weekend after the 70 mile per hour limit took effect. It compares with Kansas, where five deaths occurred, and cites a yearly toll about 30 percent higher than 1958's period. The piece argues that speed limits, while helpful, are not a cure without enforcement, licensing, vehicle scrutiny, hazard elimination, and better highways. It highlights the turnpike as a positive example with strict patrols and remarkable safety.
