From Salado to North Georgetown; The road changes to pavement, opens up to 3 lanes, and speed limit is raised to 75. Watch for DPS sitting right on the exits and on the frontage roads, and plain out in the open fields between the highway and frontage Also, POSSIBLE BEAR IN THE AIR (Police chopper) doing speed measurements. I saw three troopers, previously unseen, enter the highway in a convoy and go ahead and pull over cars that passed at least 5 minutes earlier.
