Everything is bigger in Texas, even speed limits

Texas is preparing to open a stretch of toll road this November with the highest speed limit in America: 85 mph.

The road between Austin and San Antonio will stretch for 41 miles, in an attempt to alleviate traffic congestion on nearby Interstate 35.

There are already roads in Texas and Utah where the posted speed limit is 80 mph.

No toll price has been set, but it will likely be cheaper than getting ticketed for driving at 85 mph on other highways.
