  1  1    Section 1.  Section 321.285, subsection 6, unnumbered
  1  2 paragraph 1, Code 1997, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    Notwithstanding any other speed restrictions, the speed
  1  4 limit for all vehicular traffic on fully controlled-access,
  1  5 divided, multilaned highways including the national system of
  1  6 interstate highways is as follows:
  1  7    a.  For cars, light delivery trucks, panel delivery trucks,
  1  8 pickups, multipurpose vehicles, and motorcycles, seventy miles
  1  9 per hour.
  1 10    b.  For all other vehicular traffic, sixty-five miles per
  1 11 hour.
  1 12    PARAGRAPH DIVIDED.  The department may establish a speed
  1 13 limit of sixty-five miles per hour on certain divided,
  1 14 multilaned highways.  However, the department or cities with
  1 15 the approval of the department may establish a lower speed
  1 16 limit upon such highways located within the corporate limits
  1 17 of a city.  For the purposes of this subsection, a fully
  1 18 controlled-access highway is a highway that gives preference
  1 19 to through traffic by providing access connections with
  1 20 selected public roads only and by prohibiting crossings at
  1 21 grade or direct private driveway connections.  A minimum speed
  1 22 may be established by the department on the highways referred
  1 23 to in this subsection if warranted by engineering and traffic
  1 24 investigations.  
  1 25                           EXPLANATION
  1 26    This bill increases the speed limit for interstate and
  1 27 other fully controlled-access, divided, multilaned highways
  1 28 from 65 to 70 miles per hour for cars, light delivery trucks,
  1 29 panel delivery trucks, pickups, multipurpose vehicles, and
  1 30 motorcycles.  The speed limit for all other vehicles on these
  1 31 highways remains 65 miles per hour.
