Dallas North Tollway and George Bush Turnpike: Don't slow down

According to a DMN Story, drivers on the Dallas North Tollway and George Bush Turnpike will no longer be required to slow down as they approach express lane toll booths. The speed limit for express tollways will remain constant, and all cash booths will begin to transition into an automatic electronic tolling. This pretty nifty change should begin to take place at the end of this summer and is anticipated to be completed by 2010.

This change in rules seems promising for drivers who frequent the tollways. Without the need to slow down, traffic will be less likely to build up and possibly even be safer sans the drastic changes in speed.
