Have been in DFW for the past few days and have been on some of the freeways with speed increases. I 20 in Tarrant County went from 60 to 70, and I have to say that traffic is flowing better on it now. More people naturally stay to the right since people are going 70 there. I assume it is the same on other roadways. I saw a cop when I was driving and going about 72. At first I thought "damn, I better slow down" but then I remembered.

Must be nice knowing you can go the speed most everyone drives, somewhere in the low to mid 70s, and not worry about some BS 15 over ticket. One of my old friends was saying that he sets his cruise to 75 now with no worries.

I'm calling up the TxDot division in Houston tomorrow to see what's up. We gotta change some of these limits in Houston back to the old days. 70 outside of Highway 6/1960, 65 outside the Loop (for most freeways). Keep Houston Moving!
