In several counties in Texas.  The one that caught me by suprise was I-45 between Conroe and just south of Dallas....

So remember, folks, if you are riding by your Honda speedometer and it indicates 75, you are only going 71, or so. 

80 mph indicated would be just about right...  ...for the right lane.

Quoting the article:  Be warned, though: The higher speed limit won’t be official until new signs go up.

Just so your are forewarned.

Most of the back roads in south Texas are posted 75. Does this mean night time too?

Yeah, the split daytime/nighttime speed limits were eliminated. It's one speed 24/7 now.  Hammer down, driver,  Roll Eyes   laugh
