50th Street near Hickman Road

Clive, IowaOct 01, 20041 Comments

Side rode next to Interstate 35/80 in western suburb of Des Moines, Iowa. South off Hickman Road to resturants. 35 mph winds through new car lots then over a small hump bridge. As you come over the bridge the speed limit drops to 25mph, but it is too late to slow, as the cop with the speed gun clocks you coming down off the bridge. The speed limit changes back to 35mph 50 yards further on, and there is no reason for the speed drop except to gather revenue for the city of Clive. No warnings are given and the cop is rude, and looking for an excuse to fine you further, so LOOK OUT!.

Comments:
You need to drive this one again and this time open your eyes before you get to the car dealers, the speed in 25 there also and it stays 25 for 1/4 mile beyond the bridge. If you would notice where you are going you would see there is a large aquatic center on one side of the street and, a public library on the other. Slow down and "smell the roses", or pay your fine gladly!
