70 mph speed limit, it can't be all that bad.
I know many FM and County roads within 70 miles of Dallas with no paved shoulders, barely three feet between a four inch drop from the pavement to the grass and a big ditch - with 70 and 75 mph speed limits.
Texas method of defining the speed limit is to measure what people are traveling on average and set the speed limit at near that speed. Road suitability for high speeds, or rather unsuitability, is not a criteria for setting speed limits.
