The signs I am referring are on Interstates, as in I-45 or I-10.
Also, per the requirements of the new speed rules, the roads must meet certain standards to be eligible for the speeds above 75mph. On top of that, most of the new roads which are eligible (the ones being built currently) are all paid roads and 18 wheelers avoid them most of the time if possible.

Honestly, the speed limits need to be raised in most places. Many speed ratings are from times long ago which are not relevant to current traffic conditions, car specifications, or safety standards.
