In the Parliament of the U.S. state of Texas introduced a bill on the introduction of the new speed limit on motorways is 85 miles per hour. This increase in speed limit has caused great concern among the local community, which appeals to the fact that the death rate in road accidents on the roads just managed to reach the lowest since 1954 level. Now the maximum speed on most Texas roads is limited to 70 miles per hour, but in practice the state it had risen to 80. New - high - limit is closely associated with... Commerce, or road construction. We are talking about the construction of highway "TRANS-Texas corridor toll road, which is being built by the Spanish contractor Cintra. If the maximum speed on the highway is 80 km/h, the state "will get" $ 67 million of revenue from paid traffic. And if the limit reaches 85 miles per hour, then the profit of the state will be 100 million... But since the construction of the "corridor" does not enjoy the approval of the Texans, the proposed increase in maximally actually works against him. Because the voice of the public, the more blatant about safety on the roads, there simply is sure to be heard - and certainly "outweigh" the material component. The photo - tyre burst at a speed of 85 miles per hour. The owner was still alive, and his car was not damaged - however, it seems that he experienced a lot of unpleasant moments, including after the incident. Information about the incident here.
