The Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) is now using its website to assist motorists in learning about the state's new roadway safety features and designs.
To accompany improvements recently completed on U.S. 218 in Bremer and Black Hawk counties, the page www.iowadot.gov/acceleration.htm was created to give an easy-to-understand overview of acceleration and deceleration lanes. In the future, these roadway enhancements are planned for other areas of the state as well.
