It will be easy for the traffic engineers to find roads with plenty of straightaways. Much more difficult for them to find roads with not much traffic.

Not exactly what the bill says...
This would only apply to newly built roads if the engineering proves the road can support the higher speed limit. We're lucky if we can hit 60 around here with all the traffic! I would guess this might apply to future toll road expansions here in central texas. Of course, lest we forget, our state and our transportation dept are pretty much broke. |

Between central Texas (Austin/San Antonio) and west Texas (El Paso) is about 3 "normal" states worth of nothin' much! Not commonly known is we already have some 80 MPH roads out that way, so it's not as big a step as the media would have you believe.
