Speed Limit Debate: In West Texas it's not about 55 & 65 - how about 80 ? (NYT)

From The New York Times, By THAYER EVANS
Published: October 15, 2006

On parts of Interstates 10 and 20 in Texas the speed limit is 80.

In all, it includes 521 miles of highway in parts of 10 counties, Mr. Lopez said, splitting off at the junction with Interstate 20 east of Kent and continuing toward Monahans and on Interstate 20 into Kerr County.

The limit is an ideal fit for Texas, a state that prides itself on being larger than life.
