These highways suck to drive on and have as much delay as Illinois highways half the surface area. Its one of my least favorite parts about tx.
The reason is largely that they just scaled up traffic patterns which are fine for 2 lanes to 6-7 lanes. It's absurd. The local legend in Austin is that the highway designer later committed suicide. I bike to work.
