Getting across the Lone Star State might not take as long as anymore. TEX-DOT is increasing the daytime speed limit, from 70 to 75 miles per hour on four Central Texas highways. This includes roadways in Bell, Travis, Burnett and Williamson counties. Also, the night-time speed limit of 65 will be discontinued. But drivers beware. The speed change doesn't take effect until the news signs are up, which should be finished by early 2013.
