Top speed limits in the United States; lightest red color (Hawaii) is 60 mph, darkest green color (certain counties in Texas) is 80 mph.
Entire state is one color if the top speed limit is broadly applicable. States may be graphically split into regions if different top speed limits exist in substantially-sized regions (generally larger than urban areas).

2007-03-23 14:18 Novasource 1300×593×0 (828617 bytes) Fixed some Texas counties based on input of a person who had recently driven them. It should be noted that anecdotal experience suggests only a fraction of the eligible counties (the red ones at http://home.att.net/~texhwyman/h_imgs/txpopdens.jpg) have sp
2007-03-23 02:42 Novasource 1300×593×0 (631706 bytes) Newer version that incorporates individual Texas counties. Shows how little of Texas really is effected by the 80 mph speed limits. A more accurate version would have all the west Texas counties with 75 mph highlighting and thin lines to show I-20 and I-1

Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents
Added 85 mph zones in Texas. Only 2 counties have roads with it. (Possibly a TINY portion of the 85 mph road is in Travis County, but that county needs to stay at green.)
Added 2 more Texas counties, fixed made all 80 mph parts and the legend the same color, and made Hawaii (60 mph) a deep red color to not confuse with 70 mph.
Maximum posted speed limits by state. Updated Utah with 80 MPH maximum posted speed limit (on I-15), Louisiana with 75 MPH maximum posted speed limit (on I-49), and Maine with maximum posted speed limit of 75 MPH (on I-95). Updated by [[:en:User:Wxstorm]
Change Kansas to 75mph for state-wide changes starting July 1st; revert Utah back to 75mph since there are only a couple of short 80mph zones on one freeway. Keep Louisiana at 70mph for same reason. Fix title text font.
