I was wrong about a state highway, the answer is US Highway 183 through Lockhart, according to this.

Good read. Thanks for the link Bo.

On state highways in Texas i think the minimum speed is 45 mph. I don't think anyone has mentioned what that would be on the 85 mph toll road. Logic would say that if you go up 15 mph on the max, you should go up 15 mph on the min. That probably means they will lower the min. to 30 mph on the toll road.

You're right. I read in an article listing the tolls on this road that the toll is 1/3 higher if billed directly than it is if charged to a TXtag. The Seguin - Austin toll is ~$6 each way on the TXtag.

Be careful folks!

Wild Hogs Pose Problems on Texas Highway 130

It's not only Hwy 130, these hogs are a hazard on all Texas roads, especially at night!

Cheers! M2
