An 80 mph maximum speed limit is also permitted on Interstates 10 and 20 within ten counties. Still, it lets the Texas Transportation Commission establish a 75 mph maximum speed limit (80 or 85 mph if the highway is built to accommodate that speed) on the highway system if they determine that the speed is reasonable and safe following a traffic or engineering study. The law sets a maximum speed limit of 70 mph. Texas law mandates that speed limits on state highways be placed at the maximum, except if engineering studies and traffic show that a speed limit needs to be changed for safety reasons. If you drive at night, you may move on roads with a five-mph lower night speed limit than the daytime speed limit. Texas also imposes different speed limits on rural highways at night due to wildlife and the dangers of high speeds.
