I know some great people from southern iowa. as well as some great people form northern missouri. but it doesn't stop me from making fun of places.

I personally live in Southwest Iowa and still make fun of places.

It's the ones you don't see that'll get ya.

It depends on the day. In my experience if you see one, you'll likely see 2-3 more. Also more unmarked cars than you'd think. Once I drove the route immediately after a tornado went through Canton MO, and I was amazed at all the SUVs, pickups and misc. non-cop-type cars flashing cherries.

And they take their construction zones seriously, just ask my wallet.

I made it from The Arch to DSM in 4.5 hours last year. No joke. Averaged 80 mph (seldom faster) which was good that only saw one cop. Doubt I will make it that quickly again

For about six years in a row, from southern Cedar Falls to the exit at the Arch, me and buddies made it in 5 hrs., 15 min. This was using the Avenue of the Saints, and included two pee breaks.

If you're east of Cedar Rapids it's faster to take 80, 280, 74, 55 into downtown.

It's been years since I've been to St. Louis. Is the Avenue all 4 lanes yet? I'm thinking of between Mt. Pleasant and Wentzville.

Yes, it has been 4-lane since the final section was completed in July, 2008.

Though the route still has some stoplights in Hannibal, MO (and in CF)

Yes...and a couple of these lights have camera's that will take a picture of your license plate if you run a red light.

And the Cedar Rapids "speed cameras" along 380 are going to be active.

I know at least two members of PN that have received tickets in Hannibal heading to Arch Madness.
