Thank goodness for minor injuries. Comment here on the subject of work zones on I-70 around Lawrence, why does no one heed the 60 MPH speed limit here? Just wondering as I am the only one attemting to do the proper speed limit here only to be passed by everyone on I-70. Any KHP reading, great place for alot of ticket writing here…..

Sam, I smell what your steppin in…. construction zones are dangerous. I hope someone doesn't get seriously injured, or worse yet killed, because some driver isn't paying attn.

Apparently you and I think differently.
I was wondering why a 60mph zone was needed?…there are concrete barracades that safely divide that work zone from traffic….

I think it's annoying that the sign for the West Lawrence exit has been replaced by a sign that says “South Lawrence.” I know which exit is which, but it's sure going to mess up things for visitors.

gareno, it is not up to you to decide where work zone speed limits need to be imposed, it is you job to follow the posted speed limits to insure the safety of ALL workers. I do my part, now lets see the rest of you follow the posted speed limits.
