Today I learned that the North Texas Toll Authority, affectionately known as NTTA, has requested that the speed limits be raised by 10 miles per hour on our major toll road areas, including the North Dallas Tollway and the President George Bush Tollway. It appears that the NTTA has not raised the speed limits, which currently stand between 55 and 60 MPH, because of a failure to conduct the state’s required speed safety tests, prohibiting the much desired raise in limit.

I for one am quite happy to hear this news. It pains me to know that I could get a ticket for going over 55 freakin miles per hour on a road that I HAVE TO PAY TO DRIVE ON!!! Good grief, and about time.
