The big problem with traffic congestion in the Dallas/Fort Worth area is that the theory of *Thru Traffic* was thrown out the window during designs of the highways inside the cities.

On any Interstate Highway and State Highway from East Tarrant County to all of Dallas County, if one chooses to stay on one designated highway he will at various times cross multiple lanes of traffic to continue on that given highway.

At various points in the two counties, there will two pairs of up to three lanes of traffic each, crossing each other so as to stay on the same highway. Add the opposing traffic flow and the lanes involved is doubled for one intersection of two highways.

No! No! No!

The problem is everybody is trying to get out of Irving... they are all moving to Southlake, Keller, and, if they are really smart, Grapevine.

Grapevine is the cultural center of the universe. My daughter lives there but won’t give me her address for fear I would visit her.

Meanwhile in Irving, the multi-cultural center of the Universe, one cannot sell one’s house because everyone else is selling theirs.

All that weaving can cause some pretty nasty traffic jams and accidents, I bet.
