Great first impressions of Houston! The city is a dichotomy of urbanism. Great progress with BRT and bike lanes, even in the heart of downtown. And Houston is the only large US city without use zoning, which identifies areas where certain land uses are permitted or banned. At the same time, the infamous Katy Freeway is still the poster child for induced demand. TXDOT keeps widening it to the point where it now hold the somewhat dubious world record of 26 lanes!

Interesting! Were you shooting on a weekend, Phil? As I remember Houston, even at sunrise it seemed a lot busier.
Mostly post rush hour Thursday and Friday morning
