They say they haven't been doing anything different, but will be patrolling heavily like always.
Also, while some of those accidents happened on highways with a higher speed limit, TxDOT says that the posted speed limit is the maximum limit, and that officers can pull a driver over for going an unsafe speed, even if it's under the limit.
They consider changing the speed based on conditions such as weather and heavy traffic.
