District vehicles are equipped with live GPS. The GPS provides real-time vehicle information including location and speed. The district will receive speed alerts on the vehicles. District vehicles are to be operated at or below the posted speed limits. Posted speed limits are the maximum speed under ideal traffic, weather, light, road, driver and vehicle conditions. Adjust your speed accordingly, especially in wet conditions, hydroplaning can happen at any time.
The maximum speed that a vehicle can be operated is 75mph. There are 3 roadways in the Austin and San Antonio areas that have speed limits above 75 MPH. The speed limit restriction applies on those roads as well. Remember, higher speeds reduce reaction time and increase risk in an accident.
