This doesn't look too bad. Acceptable congestion for a major metropolitan area. There are slow patches but no stationary traffic for long distances or time. I know some freeways in the Netherlands where you are stationary for 2 - 3 minutes, then drive a couple of hundred feet and then stationary again. 30 minute delays for 5 - 6 miles are quite common.

@ScrewdUPClickV2 Ahh, makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation. Another thing... how do they enforce keeping people out of the HOV lanes? I was looking for cameras but couldn't spot any. How many people have to be on board in order to use an HOV? Is it 2+? Thanks, man. Really appreciate it and keep up the great work.

I-635 construction is now officially underway. For those wondering, the pay lanes will be below grade. 3 lanes each way, while normal lanes will be built on top. The other major project that is near starting will be the really spectacular 183 project. Think Katy Freeway in Houston with bigger interchanges than the High-Five. There's a video on here of it. Crazy project. BTW, these freeways you traveled in the video certainly get much worse.

This is definitely not rush hour traffic in Dallas. Dead on for what the freeways look like, but rush hour definitely does not flow this easily- it didn't even three years ago.

Good route, one thing that i've always wondered about dallas traffic: why does 35E become congested, north of downtown, in the southbound lanes in the afternoon? It ALWAYS gets heavily congested going IN to downtown during the afternoon which doesn't make sense to me. Is the new trinity bridge designed to relieve this?? Also, what do you do for a living? are you a civil engineer? I really love your videos you've done a fantastic job of producing them

This video definitely shows some of the worst areas when it comes to Dallas traffic. I've lived in the Dallas area all my life. A month or so ago, I tried to navigate 635 (LBJ) from 35E to Royal Ln/Miller Rd after 6pm on a weeknight, and that was a horrible experience. At least they are starting to work on the LBJ Express. The Dallas Mixmaster also needs work, as it dates to the late 1950s, but even that's years away from being fixed up.

The Mopac, in particular, DOES experience near-gridlock for miles in Austin. It's probably almost as bad as what the Katy used to be like (which could legitimately be compared to any L.A freeway, pre-recession).
@FreewayBrent13 жыл бұрын
This is a pretty good concept video. I wouldn't mind seeing some more of these from around Texas. Overall, I would think that the corridors that you traveled, get much worse during peak hours than what you were able to capture on video (for example, a lot of stop-and-go, but no real gridlock, like what's commonplace in many parts of Los Angeles). In my opinion, the worst of the worst in your state is both I-35 and the Mopac (TX 1) in Austin, two freeways that are severely over capacity.

If you look at the way DFW has grown, you can see it unevenly grew to the north, but not as much east/west or south thus there are sections with a large lack of capacity and other sections with few if any problems.

I moved to Atlanta for a number of years. The traffic there makes Dallas rush hour look like a breeze. I had it take three hours to get back home (in Atlanta) on what was normally a thirty minute trip. Atlanta traffic is far worse. And you run into to it all hours of the day and night. I don't complain about Dallas/Fort Worth traffic anymore. Ever.
@I275westflorida13 жыл бұрын
Dallas has the best highways I've ever seen and manages traffic pretty well for a metro of its size. Honestly I-35E, some sections of 75, and the freeway that goes through Arlington are the only ones I've seen with bad congestion when I lived there for a year. Traffic in Dallas is not bad at all, wish the third world infrastructure in Florida was even half as good.

I heard traffic was worse in Houston but Im not sure. I know Dallas hwys are ahead in development than Htown. Yes the Dallas hwys are constantly expanding. As the video said 635 LBJ is in the process of becoming a double decker freeway. By the way there are a lot of Chicagoan here in Dallas. I work with a company from Chi-town. Come on down. :)

vanchi No prob. Also we have a pretty good public rail system that's growing and is ahead of Houston's..Though probably nothing near as big as Chi. From what I've read the crime rate has stabilized. It was bad here in the early 90's. My Chicago coworkers tell me they dont miss the snow either though we get just a little bit in winter. and I mean little compared to northern standards haha. Good luck in your decision!

@ScrewdUPClickV2 - I've been driving trucks for 17 years, 13 with Yrcw. You will get a fine if you get caught for a left lane violation. Each city sets its own fines but I do know the El Paso fine is $500.00 for a big truck. Dallas,Memphis$150.00,Atlanta$275.00 and all of the rest of these cities place these signs up for a reason(Money). They will bust your BUTT if you get caught. A truck got busted passing me Friday in Fort Worth on I-30. Like your vids, keep it up!
