Default 55 on Gulf freeway

Well today on my way into Houston. I saw them, 55 mph signs turned the other way, but I guess it's close. Heard on the radio they were putting them up in N. Houston first 290 and some others. They didnt say anything about I-45. I'm totaly bummed. Someone do something this can't be happening!!!!!!
Guess I'll be finaly meeting ya'll. ( At the Courthouse)

Yeah, the light board traffic condition signs on 290 said "New Speed Limits Posted This Week".

As if it really mattered while driving in your Insight.


I guess the Sammy Hagar's "I Can't Drive 55" has some meaning again.

My lawnmowwa Vs. your Hybrid?


Okay, here's the bet. If you win, I'll cut your grass for free! If I win, I'll cut your grass weekly for $20 for life. There's nothing like steady income. Those MexLiner dinners are killing me.

Right, that was for 290, but no one said anything about 45 south.
So, is anyone doing the "new speed limit" up there?

People on 45 North seemed to be doubling the 55. Got passed doing 102 by a pickup on the way home. Passed him doing about 90 and I guess he decided to show me how to drive. He didn't slow down when he hit traffic, just weaved through it. I just let him go.

The signs were up, but very few people were doing under 80. Saw cops in the morning, but none last night.
