Drive past downtown Kanab on US 89A toward the Arizona border and you’ll quickly find yourself in a rural area. However, despite the lack of anything near the highway the speed limit remains the city speed of 35, and it is not adequately posted. I assumed that once clear of the city I could safely accelerate to highway speeds – I found myself doing 54 when I got tagged; so much for assumptions, and for small Utah towns whose main requirement is revenue.
