Tuesday Transportation Oddities

Have a need for speed? Assuming you’re not a NASCAR driver, you might want to head to Texas where State Highway 130’s 85 MPH (137 KPH) limit is the highest in the US. But that falls short of the D3 highway in the Czech Republic where the posted limit is 150 KPH (93.2 MPH). Sorry, if that’s still not enough for you you could have driven on Dhabi-Al Ain Road where the previous posted limit was 160 KPH (99.3 MPH).
