In 1966, Texas did not have a uniform statewide speed limit. Instead, speed limits were set by local jurisdictions and could vary widely. However, the state adopted a maximum speed limit of 70 mph on rural interstates in 1966, which was one of the highest in the nation at the time. This limit reflected the growing emphasis on highway travel and vehicle performance during that era.
