Can progress ever be reversed? How could a faster limit be reimplemented? Does anybody know the process?
Makes me appreciate Texas speed limits just a bit more.

yeah Pint, I was just in Austin a few weeks ago, driving a rental POS doing 65 down the freeway when all the sudden there's like a traffic jam or something, everyone is slowing down. I'm like WTH, is there an accident or something? Wait, is that a red light? Why is there a red light on this highway?? Then I realized this is just a regular road, not a highway, and you guys just drive really fast. Awesome.
