Common Texas Driving Routes

Texas is unique from other states because it has four of the busiest interstates in the nation: Interstates 10, 20 and 30 going east and west, and Interstate 35 and Interstate 45 going north and south.  Used as standard trade routes between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, interstates have the highest proportion of trucks versus automobiles on the road.

With the large amount of traffic, high rate of speed, and increased number of large commercial trucks, interstates have a high frequency of major accidents.   According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, half of all fatal crashes in 2007 occurred on roads with posted speed limits of 55 mph or more.

Interstate 35 is especially dangerous because it connects three major urban areas: San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Austin.  On average, more than 50,000 vehicles each day travel on I-35 between San Antonio and Dallas, increasing congestion and making it an extremely dangerous route.
