Enjoy this piece of Iowana in basically pristine condition. Reflect on the history, why this spot was chosen and what kind of vehicles must have stopped here. Good educational exercise for the children!
"In 1941, engineers of the Iowa State Highway Commission became concerned with the increasing number of overweight trucks that would, over time, contribute greatly to a gradual destruction of Iowa highways. A decision was made to pursue legislation for the highway commission to designate certain employees as peace officers to enforce violations regarding weight and size. On April 16, 1941, such a proposal was signed into law by Governor Wilson, and on July 1 of that same year the traffic weight officer of the highway commission became reality."
So reads the description on the Iowa DOT page. Have fun!
