La vitesse est limité à combien ?

Texas Can Now Have Highest Speed Limits In The US
First Posted: 9/2/11 04:56 PM ET Updated: 9/2/11 04:56 PM ET
The fastest speed allowed in the United States is currently 80 mph, but that could change today thanks to a bill passed in Texas that might allow the Lonestar State to, once again, outdo the rest of the country.
Under the new legislation, as of Thursday morning, highways through Texas will no longer have different speed limits for nighttime and daytime. Texas was the only state in the US that still had day and night speed limits, which were once fairly common.
The new legislation also mandates that the typical 70 mph during the day 65 mph during the night signs can now be replaced by 85 mph signs, though that is not yet a done deal. According to CBS, no road in Texas has yet been assigned a speed limit over 80 mph.
That being said, it looks likely that Texas will break the 80 mph barrier soon. The bill to increase the speed limit passed the state’s House of Representatives with only two votes against it and passed the Senate with no objections at all.
Many trucking routes run between the major cities of Texas so the change in night speed limits could make those routes faster.
Texas Raises Speed Limit To 85, Becomes The New Montana

When the 55 mile per hour national speed limit was repealed in 1987, states were once again free to establish speed limits based on safety standards, not just fuel economy. States in the overpopulated and traffic-choked Northeast set a fairly conservative limit of 65 mph on interstate highways, while less population-dense Western states gave drivers a bit more free reign.
Montana, for example, initially set their interstate speed limit at “reasonable and prudent.” This turned out to be a bad great idea, since the definition of “reasonable and prudent” varied greatly from driver to driver. Until it was changed back to 75 mph on interstate highways, Montana probably had more tourists driving Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Corvettes than any other state in the nation.
Today, Utah and portions of Texas have the highest interstate speed limits, capped at 80 mph. That will soon change, since Texas just approved a new maximum speed limit of 85 miles per hour. It’s not all good news, however, since the new speed limit doesn’t go into effect right away and will only apply to certain (desolate) portions of interstate highway in the Lone Star State.
The first step before Texas becomes the new Montana is a review of interstate highways, to determine which ones can have speed limits raised from 70 to 75 mph. Only after this is finished will the state review highways for an increase from 80 to 85 mph, and chances are good that only stretches of Interstate 10 in West Texas will get the nod. The review, and the resulting changes, must be posted by 2013.

Faut en déduire que les camions roulent aussi vite que les voitures ?"Many trucking routes run between the major cities of Texas so the change in night speed limits could make those routes faster."
