Last month, the fastest highway in the United States opened in Texas. The so-called Pickle Parkway (kind of a strange name for a road) features a speed limit of 85 mph and is officially State Highway 130. It was named for former Congressman J.J. Pickle and is 41 miles long connecting Austin and San Antonio.
It is hoped it will alleve traffic on nearby I-35. It is a toll road costing 15 cents a mile. Taking it will get you there six minutes faster.
I guess I would save the $6.15 and go the superslab.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
