I vaguely remember the Dallas soap opera from the 80’s, and by vaguely, I think I remember that the phrase “Who Shot J.R.?” originated from it, and that’s about it.
They didn’t show the traffic and the roads.
Dallas is kind of amazing in terms of transportation. It’s like putting beautiful frosting in a wonderful design on a cow pie.
For instance, many things help the casual driver, such as the way the lanes are painted on the road to help identify exit only lanes. Or how there’s always a lane that will immediately turn you around if you missed a turn on the freeway.
But these small details neglect the larger problem, which is lack of overall organization and forethought in the roads themselves.
Oklahoma City is easy. North-South, East-West, and a few others to help expedite your trip. The only confusion that you might have is the highway interchanges in the central part of the OKC-downtown part. Other than that, you’re fine.
Dallas would more closely equate to spaghetti. And not the uncooked kind in the box either.
It’s amazing to me that a sign that indicates the entrance to I-30 is left, when it’s really right, but you can’t go that way anyway, because as soon you get on the on-ramp, the signs say don’t exit onto I-30. Instead, the only way to get there is about 3 miles out of your way.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again.
Brilliant!
I’ll keep you posted. If I can tear myself away from the coolness.
