How many more must die?
The time is well past due for getting the speed limit lowered on U.S.-56 at the north edge of Hillsboro and Marion.
In fact the time is now. It's a perfect time to approach your state legislator about action to lower the speed limit on the highway at both towns. The legislature is in session.
It seems peculiar that the state's argument is so faulty. Motorists who travel U.S.-56 and U.S.-50 see examples daily at Florence, Peabody, Lincolnville, Walton, and elsewhere. Limits have been lowered and lives have been spared.
How many more must die at Hillsboro and Marion before the Kansas Department of Transportation lowers the limits, and makes driving through Marion County safer?
