Gotta love DFW, always tearing down one road/highway while building another.

That drives me nuts, cant see where the freakin lane is. That and the drivers around here are TERRIBLE. I have lived many places but people on the tollway and 75 are the worst I have ever seen....well, actually New Jersey is worse.

What I really dont get, is why on the service roads, the same lane is used in the SAME spot to get on and off the freeway. You have cars weaving in and out of each other trying to get on or off...terrible road planning.

I have noticed that too about the stripes, thought that was just my eyesight. At certain times of the day(morning and evening) there seems to be so many stripes on the road, you don't know which one to follow. Nice thing about Strokes is that there are so many cool coustom bikes to gaze at when you are tired of looking at the women.

I'm not sure i could ride my bike through Dallas, and I think I'm a competent rider. People down her drive like they are nuts.

The population growth in cities like Dallas and Houston are the results of transplants from other cities and states (and countries). I can remember when driving in Dallas/Fort Worth was fairly normal and safe and a full place to drive.

I agree. TX drivers tend to be fast and accurate. All the major metro downtown freeways tend to be nuts these days- tangled up, broken down. For instance Dallas, Houston, Denver, St Louis. The East Coast is tangled up and broken down ON METH!
