I live in Iowa and just received a speeding ticket. The officer said he had me going 41 mph in a 25 zone. He wrote me a ticket for going 35 mph in a 25 zone. While he was in his car writing the ticket, I observed a sign about 30 feet ahead of where I was pulled over stating that the speed limit was 30 mph. I did not say anything, thinking that maybe the speed limit was 25 before that point or that he would just write me a ticket for going 40 in a 30 zone. Anyway, afterwards I drove the road over again to see what the speed limit is. The entire stretch of road lists the speed limit as 30 mph. There were 3 signs stating this speed limit on the stretch and one of them was right where he said I was going 41. Is this something I should contest or just pay? I don't know if it will matter since I was speeding regardless?
