It's nearly impossible to see every single sign, especially in a place where one shouldn't even be.

How about heading to Houston, when you get over into Tx it goes up to 75 and holds it through the curvy sections, it feels like you're going too fast at times due to the curves. Then, you hit a looooong strait away in the middle if nothing, and the speed has mysteriously dropped down to 65 - tell me why???? To get us folks from the east excited about moving quicker, then stick us when we miss the limit dip?

Actually, the 65 is because that county was above the legal limit on ozone or one of the "pollutants" cars put out so they lowered the limit to try and meet the regs.
