Tollroad Express Lanes To Get Express-ier

The North Texas Tollway Authority board of directors voted to increase the speed limits of toll booth express lanes to bring them equal to the existing speed limits in the lanes.

You have to have a Toll Tag, of course, to use these lanes, but this is just the natural progression of the NTTA’s plan to eliminate toll plazas entirely, forcing everyone to have a Toll Tag.

What I’d like to know is when they’re going to increase the 55 mph speed limit on the Dallas North Tollway. Unless it’s rush hour, nobody’s driving that speed, and the NTTA has been slow to perform state-mandated speed studies and act accordingly.
