Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
Ping!
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
The lack of good highways between cities and rural areas in Texas is truly despicable. People die, lots of people, on a regular basis due to congestion, poor signage, inadequate capacity, no over/under passes etc etc etc.
One has to pass through 8 (probably 9 by now as I haven’t been down in a week or so) stop lights traveling down 281 to get into San Antonio. As well as wide spots in the road with a filling station or two every ten miles or so where they drop the speed limit to 55 and there are many side roads.
Its obscenely dangerous. More and more people are using 281 as a N/S corridor so as to avoid I-35 ... which is simply a death road.
Texas highways are horrendous. Being the second largest state population wise and the first in population growth ... you’d think they could float a highway bond to get things done. But nooooooooo. No highway bonds in this state. Can’t do that. Better that the highways should ever be 10 years behind the curve and that innocent men women and children die miserable deaths in bloody car crashes.
