Central Texas seems to have missed the boat on infrastructure. I know there's a strong anti-freeway lobby in Austin. I understand some of it, but they have created a traffic gridlock hell down there. More roads only attract more cars, though.

Austin is absolutely the worst city in the state to drive in or through. I hate it passionately.

that toll around is one of the most beautiful things on the entirety of I35 Laredo to Minnesota.

Where i live, they're working to make it 4 lanes each way, which is more than i can say for Austin. it's kinda brutal on weekends when they shut a lane down, but at least they're doing something. fortunately i missed the bridge collapse in Salado 2 weeks ago, because i normally go that route about 4-5x a month.
