I live right where the arrow pointing to the loop 1 toll addition intersects with 183. And rush hour is horrible

Working at ABIA: In August and September, I rode my bicycle from our home near 620 & Anderson Mill to 7th & Pleasant Valley and back. The bus takes me to and from the Airport and Pleasant VAlley. I lost 20 lbs real quick, but the point is that I could get downtown on my bike faster than my wife can home from U.T. sometimes. Coming home is much uphill and in traffic. Total time in saddle - 3 hours a day. When the toll system is completed, I will have to spend at least $100 a month on tolls to and from work in my car. A 17 cent/mile toll = $3.40 per gallon tax. A 10-cent tax statewide would solve all the financial problems. See: http://firericwilliamson.com for a power-point presentation.

Sorry to hear about the traffic.
I live off I-35 near Belton.
Well, at least we're in Texas!
Yee haw.

I live in Lago Vista and work 630 - 5, Tues - Fri. The flyover from Loop 1 to 183 is horrible in the PM. So many drivers go up the right "merge" lane and use the shoulder to get to the Braker exit. Really gets my blood pressure up. Such inconsiderate nin-come-poops.
