Marion adjusts speed limits on highways 13 and 151
Cedar Rapids and Linn County commuters who use the routes daily will encounter the new enforcement zones.
The City of Marion has been working with the Iowa Department of Transportation to adjust speed limits on portions of Highway 13 and Highway 151.
Reports indicate the changes are being implemented in July 2026.
The adjustments aim to improve safety for residents, workers and travelers alike.
"We're trying to make it safer for everybody, and that includes the people who live here, the people who work here, and the people who are just passing through," a City of Marion official said.
Drivers on these corridors between Cedar Rapids and surrounding Linn County areas should watch for the updated limits once posted.
