I grew up in Texas, but only visit from out-of-state, for the past couple decades. I remember when the national speed limit of 55mph was removed, and Texas raised the speed limit to 65, then 75; but also created a night time speed limit that was still stupid slow. Not too long ago, a toll road now has 85mph (with 99mph tolerated, if uncongested). Didn't realize so much old signage still existed, but from the looks of most Southern state infrastructure... we probably can't raise the speed limits too much more due to potholes, alone (but really outside of cities should be like Montana was, decades ago "drive prudently"). Still waiting for the first state that implements an "enhanced drivers license credential," which would be en external emblem showing the driver was more-skilled // better-insured and therefore legally able to drive faster. |
