, ,SPEED LIMITS
Speeds, caution areas, stops and directions are marked along 76,900
miles of Texas highways by over half a million signs. Passing is illegal when
there is a continuous yellow stripe on the driver's side of the center line.
Center lines are yellow dash stripes. White dash stripes separate dual lanes
of traffic in the same direction. Painted or reflectorized pavement arrows
often show approved directions or turns. Arrows pointing toward you or
showing red reflectors indicate you are driving the wrong way on a freeway
ramp or one-way street. In Texas, the maximum speed limit for cars and
light trucks (pickups, panels, vans, etc.) on most rural interstate and some
federal and state highways is 65 miles per hour, where posted. All other high-
ways, including urban interstates, are 55 miles per hour, or lower as posted.
AUTO SAFETY BELTS AND CHILD SEATS
Texas law requires front seat occupants must be buckled up while riding
in cars and light trucks. Further, the law requires children under age four be
secured whether in front or back seat. Infants under age two must be
secured in a federally approved child safety seat; children between two and
four may use such a seat or be secured in standard safety belts. Fines of $25
to $50 may be levied for failure to use safety belts and child safety seats as
prescribed. The driver and all passengers of a motorcycle may not operate
the vehicle unless each is wearing a safety helmet of approved design.
AUTO INSURANCE
A motor vehicle may not be operated in Texas unless a policy of liability
insurance is in effect. Evidence of insurance must be furnished when
requested by a police officer....
