Texas Sets 70 MPH Speed Limit On Most Highways
The Texas Highway Commission announced that over two thirds of the state highway system will adopt a 70 mph daytime limit for passenger cars starting August 23, with about 41,500 miles allowed to 70 mph. A Minute Order carved 18,640 miles to 60 mph day and 55 mph night where upgrades are not feasible, after engineering studies across 25 districts. Many Farm to Market roads will follow the 70 mph rule, while some older primary routes and certain segments remain at 60 mph where conditions justify.
