Interstate 280 West at mile marker 4. As you can see ahead, the speed limit decreases to 55 mph while the 40 mph minimum speed limit remains in effect. I think 55 mph from here on out is ridiculously slow considering I-280 passes through rural parts west of Davenport, but so be it. (Photo taken 5/29/16). |
