You have no idea how often I watch this video in full! Love the music first of all, all three of the songs of choice! Second of all, I moved to Dallas about a month ago from Georgia and we drove there! I recongize some of the roads you were on now, especially US75! You can actually see where I live (wasn't built in this video) from US75 North now!! Thank you, Freewayjim, for making me anticipate my love for Dallas!

When I drove on Route 75, 3 realizations came to mind: 1. I had never seen a speed limit of 70 mph inside city limits. 2. Driving to McKinney from Dallas was a longer drive than it felt because you're driving through nothing but sprawl, so it flies by fast. 3. Those 4 and 5 stack interchanges are truly done the Texas way. They make it obvious with the stars embedded on the sides. Anyway, it was a great video you put together. Can't imagine why anyone would dislike it, but we can't please everyone, I guess.

Since that is a lot of info for a sign, those signs are always large, and are also always overhead, and never off to the side.

Don't understand why but after moving to Texas I've become enthralled with the highway infrastructure as there are so many impressive interchanges that are also mostly efficient. Still love it though when the interstates run at around 80-85+ when the speed limit is 65.

ethan aldrich lamatan When I first moved to Mesquite in 03' the "High 5" was nothing but several huge pillars when I left in 05' it wasn't quite completed I think....nice to see it again.

Always love the frontage roads along the Texas highways. It's a perfect way to deal with local vs. express traffic.

Texas has the nicest roads, I swear. So much nicer than New York. The only good road on the entirety of Long Island is NY 27.
@williamtoad80405 жыл бұрын
CobaltYoshi27 well that’s because of the decreasing populations along the Great Lakes and the roads are much older

CobaltYoshi27 I live in Staten Island and I agree!!! The roads here in NYC suck!!! I can’t wait until I move out of NYC for college and go to somewhere in the Southern US like Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Dallas, or Houston!!!

Up north the roads get destroyed by freezing and thawing in the winter. Plus the salt they put down on the roads just ests it up. It makes sense for the roads in the southern states to be better than northern states. I think it would be cool if they had underground heating for the roadways. My neighbor has pipes that pump hot water under his driveway. Snow just hits it and melts. He never has to shovel his driveway.

Did anybody notice the huge backup on the flyramp from I-30 east to I-35W north in downtown Ft. Worth? That backup is due to the North Tarrant Express projects: major expansion projects on I-820 and I-35W. The I-820 portion of the projects are complete (expanded I-820 from I-35W in north Ft. Worth to TX 121/TX 183 in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford (H-E-B) area. I was recently on I-35W in north Ft. Worth about 2 weeks ago. Traffic is backed up regardless of time of day as they are adding toll lanes and expanding the right-of-way from I-30 north to near TX 114 by Texas Motor Speedway.

Correction: The Texpress Lanes are open now. I know that because there is news and I drove that section and filmed it a couple months after you guys came though. I can confirm its open now

US 75 (this section) is unnumbered Interstate 345 - like US 50 between Washington DC proper and the Severn River Bridge is unnumbered Interstate 595. This "silent Interstate" exists only as far north as the Trinity River Bridge - it began at the northern end of Interstate 45 (at the Mixmaster Interchange).

Great ride. Only 13 miles to get from pasture to city. And 70 mph in the middle of the city? Crazy!
@Freewayjim7 жыл бұрын
Thanks, yeah that's Texas for ya, and in the next video it's 75MPH on the LBJ Express Lanes, I was shocked to see that to be honest.
@vintagefancollector14367 жыл бұрын
TheSolarcatcher lol don't be surprised, that is 80 MPH in Texan, we always go 10 over, and the cops let it slide. We have 80 and 85 MPH speed limits too, that means 90 and 95 MPH! Gotta go fast in a big state ya know.

Thanks for the link. The Central expressway looks much safer now, and as you said it is a state highway and not part of the "interstate" system. When I lived in Anaheim in southern California in the early 1970s, MOST of the freeways in the LA area were state routes and not part of the interstate system, however I have noticed that many of these routes now have interstate numbers. I guess the were added to get the federal funding. Seems like when I was there, there was I-5, I-10, I-405, I-605, I-210, and US-101. The rest were all state routes. ( something like 600 miles at the time) One thing I liked about the system in the LA area is that the NAMES of these freeways actually pertain to what LOCATION the road connects to. (rather than some persons name or other random name important to the area).
@Freewayjim7 жыл бұрын
You are welcome, it's actually a US Highway, but is still a freeway that isn't an Interstate (like US-101 in California). California decommissioned some old US Routes and turned them into state routes (like the 91 Freeway for example) and just converted other state routes to freeways over time. Yes, agree with you on the Freeway Names.
