How would you feel about hitting speeds above 200 mph?

It was about 45 minutes from El Paso, and one thing I always remember was that as soon as you crossed the state line, drivers were suddenly going much faster. Needless to say, I  got with the program rather quickly. Problem was, it was still over the posted 70 mph limit.

Well, no more fellow travelers, because our fair Lone Star State is building a highway with an 85 miles per hour speed limit. Awesome!

Okay, so I exaggerated a little, but if the Texas Dept. of Transportation has it's way, we may soon have a stretch of highway with the nation's highest speed limit of 85mph. This piece of state Highway 130 that runs north and south between Austin and Seguin, would have a 41-mile segment with the new limit, after officials finish reviewing the toll road's topography, and take a look at what speed most travelers are driving on the highway.
