[HayHauler]

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

Huh. I just assumed its been that limit all this time...

[Daniel Meyer]

Cool! About time!

[bigguy]

I thought that was the speed limit on 635 around Dallas.   

[Rocketman]

When did they implement a minimum speed?

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.

All interstates in Kansas are now 75 mph as of now, passed here too! South Dakota has had it for some time. Hoser 

[RainMaker]

Will test it out on our way back into town today...

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?

[mario]

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

Kewl, no more slowing down for the headlights.   Me? Just been working. Keeping my head to the Grind stone.

[QOTFU]

[Disco]
