I have read about this being done in Dallas in the past. I also have 1st hand experience of Texas revenue enhancement techniques in Calhoun county.

Same thing happening on this road: Slow road to Lockhart smells a bit fishy

The idiots around here already drive 90+. That'd just encourage them to go 120 and set cruise control.

But it would be nice if late at night, speed limits were increased 10-15mph. For highway/expressway driving.
