According to a Reuters article, one stretch of San Antonio's Highway 130 could be the first road in America — and the Western Hemisphere — to have an 85 mile-per-hour speed limit.

In fact, only a few roads in Poland have 86 mph (140 kilometers per hour) speed limits, beating Highway 130's proposed limit by 1 mph. Of course, there is also the Autobahn road system in Germany, which has stretches with no limits.

Highway 130 is under construction to relieve traffic on Interstate 35, a heavily congested Texas highway. While the 85 mph speed limit isn't finalized yet, Texas transportation officials are considering the limit.
