"Constructions crews on Wednesday began posting 85-mph speed limit signs along a pending section of toll road on Texas' State Highway 130. This 41-mile stretch of highway, which will open for traffic by Nov. 11, is on the east side of Austin and heads southwest toward San Antonio. Chris Lippincott, an official with the State Highway 130 Concession Co., said that the Texas Department of Transportation has determined that this area is safe to travel at 85 mph." - SteVe C from Bookmarklet

I actually can't imagine driving 85 mph. But I would. :) (Full disclosure: I've once gone up to 105 on 28 here in VA. Definitely took a dumb pill that day.) - c.a.j.

I heard you can't breathe at that speed. - Winckel

They will need gas stations every half mile as the MPG drop at 85 is huge - SteVe C

I do 85 just to keep up with the flow of traffic most times. I couldn't image that here in LA. Then our speed would bump up to 105. - Anika

Most of I-20 in Fot Wuth is posted at 60, 75 is routine. - Greg GuitarBuster

So this means going 110 mph should be totally fine, right? - Victor Ganata

Theres a stretch of I-70 in Utah between Salina and Green River that's posted 80 mph. I floated 85 to 90 - WarLord

uh i float 95 when it says 70 :) - Jeff (Team マクダジ )

Are open containers still legal in Texas? (While driving, that is.) #Notagoodcombination - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
