[Vision2020] Is Texas ready for 85-mph speed limit?

[Sam Scripter]

Well, my reminiscing likely was inaccurate, based on my web research this evening.

I was on the Kansas Turnpike, not the Eisenhower. 80 mph, not 85, is probably what I saw posted, and tried, briefly.

So the new 85 mph in Texas on a 40 mile or so section of new toll highway is 5 mph higher. Texas is "bigger" again, isn't it?

My experience was in 1969, on my way from SFValley State Coll to Ohio State for a summer institute.

Come on, Sam.  You are talkin' forty years ago (before speed limits were of any concern) in Kansas, the state that invented checkerboard farming, roads/highways are straighter than a rifle shot, and the closest thing to a hill is a speed bump at the local general store.

Seeya at the polls, Moscow, because . . .
