      @@dudeman4184 I assume this road is going from the suburbs to the city. The problem with this is that the entire American city planning is garbage.
      The suburbs need better regulation allowing for the construction of cafe`s, restaurants, shops, parks, etc so that "villages" can be created. Doing that would allow public transport to be effective. The current suburbia layout is inefficient because
      - you can`t have public transport with it
      - it`s more expensive to maintain roads, cable and pipes
      - you don`t really have communal places
      - travel is too expensive
      Another thing you Americans should do is just ditch the skyscrapers since they require 40% more gas and 2,5 times more electricity. Just ditch this model all together and start over. That highway is money down the drain.

      You people that made these comments have no idea what you're talking about. Not a clue. Imagine waiting for a train or bus in 105F. If the wait is 15 minutes you'll be soaking wet. How about riding a bike in that weather with the sun beating down on you. I cycle all the time in Houston for recreation but it's followed by a shower. You can use a train or cycle for about 6 months of the year and the rest of the time go in your air conditioned car. That's why we have some of the biggest roads in the world and I'm glad about it.

Lots of concrete heating up in the sun, while there is almoast no shade where one could hide. Uncountable cars and trucks poluting the air, so there is almoast no oxygen but in return you get a lot of dust and smell.

    I live in the Los Angeles area, and I am very impressed with the engineering of the Houston freeways. Of course, yours are much newer. There is no longer any freeway construction, except for improvements in the Los Angeles area. They have been trying to build an adequate metro system. They built one line that ended a short distance from the airport. Years later, they are going to rectify this. I could write a novel about the absurdity of traffic and public transportation in the Los Angeles area. That is why New York City and Paris are my favorite cities. And I could care less about the wonderful weather.

    With such number of lanes, entry/exit points and driving habits (eg a lot of overtaking on the right, high speed drivers etc) I wonder how often someone driving daily on this highway will be hindered by accidents. Also with no visual separation between the two directions I guess an accident on one direction will end up quickly in congestion on the other direction (rubbernecking). Perhaps someone local/driving daily on this road can give an estimate on often this will happen on a year basis?

    People who say you should have built trains or bike paths ( which we do have many bike paths) instead don't understand Houston. First of all unless you live in Alaska's big cities or Jacksonville you probably aren't aware of cities as large as Houston land wise. It's massive and taking a bike on most journeys would be out of the question. The other big issue is the heat. For close to 6 months of the year I can assure you that you don't want to be outside waiting on a train or bus. So unless there's a shower at your destination you're going to be soaking wet and not smelling your best with a train, bus or bicycle. Jump in the car and crank the AC and you're good. Also whenever they tried to expand the trains people in the neighborhoods they wanted to put them fought like heck to keep them out of their neighborhood.

      This is not standard nor good. If you think this is normal, then you should examine it.
      This type of development is completely unsustainable. After the last expansion of the Katy Freeway, transit times went UP. Now NHHIP is planning to add another 4-ish lanes, which I'm sure will solve the problem for good, at the expense of like 26,000 jobs and homes.
      Houston is a city that's been constructed for cars, not people.

    As a native Houstonian, I absolutely hate Katy Freeway and do my best to avoid it at all costs.

    If I’m riding in the toll lane, I’m doing 140 minimum… I paid for the lane with no traffic!!
