US 50 between I-470 and MO 291 has been tagged as a Travel Safe
Zone...all traffic fines in that stretch are doubled.

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.

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