...in my experience, most folks try to drive about 15 mph over the speed limit anyway. If ya make the limit 70, they will try to go 85. If ya make it 85 they are gonna try to go a hundred. The problem won't be so much the car going a hundred as it will be grandma going 40 in the high speed lane.

85 Mile Per Hour Speed Limit Seen on State Highway 130
Toll road two thirds completed runs from I-10 east of San Antonio to Georgetown, north of Austin

WOAI local news

The Texas Department of Transportation said today a toll road being built from San Antonio to north of Austin could be the first road in the country to have a posted 85 mile per hour speed limit.

"It was designed under extremely high design parameters," said Darren McDaniel, the Speed Management Director for the department, which builds and manages all Texas highways.

The highway, called State Highway 130, is being built to take traffic loads off of the heavily overcrowded Interstate 35 between San Antonio and north of Austin, a stretch which is one of the most congested in the country. Most of the highway is built, and posted at 80 miles per hour, and the remainder is set to be opened before the end of this year.
