Speed limits and the signage on the road can help with improving safety and moving vehicles in a timely manner. Research from the Texas Department of Transportation and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute increased the understanding of the fundamental relationships between posted and operating speeds. It also provided content to support external and internal TxDOT dialog about speed limits and their development for all roadway environments.
The implementation project included workshops and other materials to ensure information availability for all Texans.
