Texas Highway reaches 85 MPH

    After years of work the Texas State Highway 130 toll road has been opened weeks ahead of schedule.

This new toll road has gotten national attention over several of months for having a posted speed limit of 85 mph along its 41 mile long highway just south of Austin.This road was made with no cost to taxpayers. Passenger trucks and cars will be charged $0.15 per mile which comes up a little over six dollars. Personally this would be cool watching cars going 85 mph but i have no idea how this relates to technology even though i know i'm on technology.
