Those interchanges are like a genuine tourist attraction. I have never seen any this big in Europe.

These tangled up roads are a true piece of artwork

What a magnificent compilation, this is! It makes all the interchanges I have encountered so far so tiny.

The state of Texas is famous for their interchanges and stacks.

Good video dude. There's definitely an element of awesomeness when looking at the stacks. I live right by the 183/Toll45 stack in Austin and am still amazed at the pure size of it.

What's neat is that the stacks have increased significantly in number since this video was released.

No El Paso spaghetti bowl? Wanted to see it.... At least to feel a little recognized lol. They were all cool stacks though

California could use a few of these... traffic is HORRIBLE, and needlessly...

This is a great video! I love how you managed to make the ramps go with the music rythm at 4:00 :D My favourite is the one at 3:02. Cheers from Italy!

texas does seem to have alot of stack interchanges. I don't think we have any in minnesota.

Wow. Texas has a lot of four level stacks. Very nice video, Jim!

@CosmoPhotography Thanks, it was a fun video to make! Keep in mind the cost to build in Texas is cheaper , no unions. The High Five was $261 Million, the Springfield Interchange near DC was around $700 Million.

I love the Dallas stacks

Man, those are some big freeways, wish we could get some of those in Minnesota! Nice work.

As they say, everything's bigger in Texas! (Even the overpasses)

...mind boggling - great compilation - fav'd...

Great music here too

This video is 10 years old! You had a good dashboard camera back then. Thanks for the ride

You drove right near my house in this video lol I live off 59 and 610 in Houston

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! EPIC STACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great take on the stacks of my state!

Freeways in Texas should be a role model for the rest of the country.

@LucidRealityChild: Thank you! Most of these are in the larger metro areas although there is a 4-Level stack in El Paso on I-10.

Wow, this one was very unexpected, and not only because I thought you were taking a break through the remainder of 2010. I like the font you chose for your annotations in this one. Hey wait a minute, I didn't realize you went to Austin, too, lol.

@Billabongs122988 I don't have exact counts but I believe Texas has more stack interchanges, Texas definitely has more 5-Level interchanges. Considering I have never been to California I can't answer which has wider roads,

We're soon going to have a second stack in Shreveport, La.

@FreewayBrent Thanks, yeah, we went through Austin and San Antonio on the way to Corpus Christi. I was inspired but Friday's trip to NC, good to be back on the road even if it was a boring ride.

Very nice editing! Didn't catch your edited Texas outline at 0:20 until I watched it a second time. Creative! The fonts and transitions were also very well chosen. I can't even begin to imagine how much all of that infrastructure costs to maintain and replace when it eventually ages. It seems as if Texas allocates a lot of money to their roadways. Wonder how the rest of the state is doing? :P Great job, Jim!

ive been on all the Houston highways here great Vid Freeway Jim ---

As usual, good stuff! You're gonna need to come back to Dallas soon though - there's gonna be some even NICER stacks on 75/121 and Dallas North Tollway/121 in the next year or so.

@Billabongs122988 Texas often has frontage roads whilst Cali has collector/distributor systems.

Very nice video ,Freewayjim ! Impressive freeways ! Vive le Texas !

@MyMultimedia The 5th Level in Texas is for the frontage roads, look closely at the high five (first interchange in this video) the frontage roads is the 2nd level (US-75 being the 1st), I-635 the 3rd then the flyover ramps at 4th and 5th. In Los Angeles there is one 5 Level at I-105/I-110 with the 5th level being an HOV ramp.

Stacks, those are my favorite interchanges! Freewayjim, can you make the stacks of my state, Michigan?

Amazing footage from Stackxas!

Good driving vid. :) I like the night time part..even though it's just the intro.

Nice!. I made a few tunnelcompilations for Dutch roadtunnels a weeks ago

Miss one exit and you end up on Mars 😂 Cool video though, we need some of these in CA

Man I guess it's true when they say that everything is bigger in Texas lol. Those stacks are huge!!! It makes me want to take a road trip to Texas so bad!!! Thanks for the videos!

This was an impressive collaboration of highway stacks, even though it is a bit dated, do you recall how many days it took to drive and collect all of this video footage in order to compress and make this video? So far I believe Texas has the most phenomenal highway stacks that I have ever seen! I honestly must say (Great Video Jim=GVJ)!!!!!!!!!!!

Spectacular video..!The brilliant song *.Ghost Riders in the Sky

@willubhave Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

@jenzeppelin Thank you very much! I've never heard of that software you mentioned. I use Final Cut Express 4 for the Mac

Whoa, I saw a Prius! I didn't think I'd see one down there in Texas.

That's some nice stacks!

this is prolly the coolest video ever i love my home state

If you are on the top stack of the High 5 you get a kick ass view of the Dallas skyline in the distance. New stacks: I-30 and SH-161 Between Dallas and Ft. Worth. And I-30 and Hwy 360 (under construction) in Arlington

@ashvegas1018 Glad you liked it, thanks for watching.

Hey I have a question does Texas edge out Cali in terms of stack interchanges in freeways? Cali has wider road right?. Nice vid!.

@Trekker1801 Thanks, The frontage roads are the 5th level, train tracks did not count.

PERFECT!!! music PERFECT!! STACKS AWSOME!! :) Good job JIM, Awsome Job is better!!!

A video of the stacks of Texas? Can you make a video of another set of stacks, this time in my state, Michigan?

@jenzeppelin Thank you! what's Proshow?

@LondonUnderground186 Thanks and Merry Christmas to you.

@TailsPrower88 Thanks, I'm glad you noticed :)

@GeoffJennyOliver Thank you!

@10251991JRH That interchange is in the video, it's the first one from Houston shown.

@713dank I did not film every 5-level stack in Houston, I can realistically only use what I film, you know? I am from New England but have lived in Atlanta most of my life and I greatly prefer the way things are done in the south with regards to transportation.

the best video !!

They even have a few smaller ones in Waco, Lubbock, Laredo & The Rio Grande Valley

@bmbsage Thank you!

love your joy rides....but how many takes does it take(no pun) i never see you in backed up in traffic is there a favorite time of day or is this all editing...keep on truckin whoo hoo

@eluko79 Thank you, and thanks again for turning me on to that song.

@RCtennis3811 Thanks, yes that would be nice to see.

@Freewayjim that makes sense since Texas don't have earthquake warnings. Merry Christmas and hope to see again plenty of great vids in 2011 :)

May I ask what you do for a living Freewayjim? Considering you drive alot, but will often document multiple approaches for the stacks, I wouldn't think you're a truck driver (as that would be expensive and untimely for such an occupation).

They are redoing that canyon thingy around downtown Dallas. That will make a good video.

@omiks3 I did not go to El Paso, that video in now way represents ALL the stacks in Texas.

@FreewayTitan Thanks, I did not leave I-35 through Austin so I did not film the one you mentioned.

@ScrewdUPClickV2 Thanks!

@LondonUnderground186 With the exception of I-105 @ I-110, they are.

What's your favourite stack?

@TailsPrower88 Thanks, same to you!

"Ghost Riders" in the sky by Spiderbait, it was in the closing credits :)

@VHM072010 Thanks!

@aswchris Thanks, too bad I had to leave a few out.

@CALZOLA Thank you!

@0marigolds Thanks :)

@truckernacion Thanks!

@adrienneboland830 Thank you!

@FreewayAndrew Indeed, best I've ever seen.

You forgot US-59 SW & BW 8 SW interchange stack level. The bridge had orange pant on there.

@skeeter3436 Thank you! I like your home state too.

@expresswayjess Thanks!

Seems like those interchanges are way higher in Texas than the ones in California

@ScrewdUPClickV2 LOL, thanks. I had to leave some out to be honest, and yeah every stack in the state would be wayyyy too long for KZfaq.

@20angelbaby07 Yes, I thought I corrected it

@WShowduh "Instead of showing East 290 at IH 35, you could've shown something more Austin like 183 at Mopac or 183 at Toll 45." I can only use the footage I have.

@SirKyanite Thanks.

@10251991JRH I did not film those interchanges. This video is not EVERY stack in Texas, heck I could do a video of just Houston stacks alone, and I did not film every one of them. Lets be realistic here.

Cool!

@bsmack66 Well put, God Bless you!

@ScrewdUPClickV2 Good stuff! I wish I had that info while making the video :)

Agreed on that point. Public transportation improvements should be made in conjunction with road building and not in place of it. And if there's not money for both - put it towards the roads exclusively.

what's the name of the music?

@bulldozer950 It is!

It is not a stack, but the bridge over the ocean channel which I think is on 610, Houston is impressive.

@713dank Just a technicality I guess.

No, I just do this on vacations and joyrides.

@Freewayjim Well what about IH-10 East/BW 8 Northeast-Southeast interchange? And I got bigger news for you: US-90 east/BW 8 northeast-southeast interchange will be almost finished in a few years. The construction just got started building the roads last year.

@ScrewdUPClickV2 Well I put the BEST stack first but the best city for stacks last indeed.
