Are There Speed Limits

We have written about the driving here in Kazakhstan and how crazy they drive. It takes all we have everyday not to scream in the car. Well on our way back to our appartment yesterday I started wondering if they had speed limits on the road, since I had never seen a sign. As our coordinator is driving down the road section of road and cop walks out onto the road and flags her down. The answer is yes they get speeding tickets in Kazakhstan. We learned that tickets are very expensive , but slipping the cop between $5-$10 will resolve the issue.
