Yeah 85 would be a bad idea. When the speed in NJ was raised in some areas from 55 to 65. The average speed in those areas went from 65 to 75.
The roads may have been designed for 1950s cars going 85 but there are a lot more cars on the roads today. When I started driving the highway by my parents would be empty during rush hour now its packed.
I don't know how people in Texas drive but here in NJ on the turnpike I see people doing very dumb things all the time at 75mph+. One example I got passed while doing 75 by a 90's Dodge caravan pulling a small uhaul trailer with the little wheels probably not ment for doing ~80mph. And that van was is bad shape, if they cheap out on replacing the van what else are the cheaping out on, tires, breaks, alignments?
