30th Street near State Highway K-61
Very poorly marked school zone–no large flashing double yellow lights as in neighboring towns. The signs are the same size as no parking signs—on a 45 mph street.
When I told the officer I didn’t even know I was in a school zone he laughed, and said—yea thats what a lot of people tell me—my boss tells me to come down here and write these tickets and that’s what I Do! The ticket was $100.00 for 32mph in a 20mph school zone
