From: My Land of Misery on 20 Mar 2010 12:28 US 50 between I-470 and MO 291 has been tagged as a Travel Safe Zone...all traffic fines in that stretch are doubled. http://www.fox4kc.com/wdaf-story-highway-travel-zone-031910,0,5885628.story My comment here: that stretch is posted 65. It gets congested enough that I usually stick to 60.

I noticed that same designation along a very rural stretch of MO 142 when I was on my way back from Texas. What are the criteria for such a designation? The affected segment of MO 142 looked no different than the rest of the highway as I drove between US 63 and US 160. -- To reply by e-mail, remove the "restrictor plate"

My guess is that it's nothing more than a revenue generating program.
