I35 going through Austin is a pain if you live there. The story has always been that the army built that segment and they didn’t care about stopping anywhere in in Austin so it more or less goes straight through town and has these horrible on ramps where you have about fifty feet to accelerate to freeway speed, merge into traffic, and try not to hit the containment wall or other vehicles. As an alternative they built a bridge over that section that bypasses the downtown altogether (best bet if your traveling through). When I lived there I would go miles out of my way to avoid that area. It was also the home of the Texans can’t drive in snow meme. One day there was snow falling lightly, wasn’t even really getting the ground wet, and somehow it caused a seventy car pile-up. Bizarrely when they have tornados and severe weather in that area of Texas they tend to follow I35 south and you’ll get a lot of damage within a mile or two of the interstate.
