The Link

"Under TxDOT's contract with the SH 130 Concession Company, the firm had to pay TxDOT an extra $67 million if the new road received an 80 mph speed limit. If the road received the coveted 85 mph speed limit, TxDOT’s bonus jumped to $100 million." And who was responsible for determining whether 85 mph is safe? Why, the very entity receiving the $100 million bonus: TxDOT.

Driving down that highway at 85 is safer than driving down any major road that has businesses on both sides of the road and red lights and cars turning in and out of your lane.
Try doing that while typing an email on your phone....
