If you travel between Midland and Odessa and use Highway 191 you will notice an upgrade that happened this past week. 

Since the studios of KBAT and Townsquare Media are located on Highway 191 and it is the road that I use most for my commute to work, I noticed the other day crews from TxDOT putting up a sign and I wondered what they were doing then I saw that it was new speed limit signs.

Back in February they upgraded Interstate 20 to 75 MPH but I thought they would never do that on Highway 191 but I was wrong,  I call it an early Christmas present to the drivers that commute along Highway 191.  If you are like me you were going 75 to begin with so now you don't have to worry about getting pulled over.
