It's addressed. The frontage roads by any reasonable measure seem like an objectively stupid idea that the state largely regrets building so much of, but they did it because it made it easier to acquire the adjacent land to build the highways. There may not be any infrastructure or geography that would have made building differently any harder, but the land had owners and Texas is probably abnormally deferential to private landowners as US states go.
- msisk6 2y agoThe frontage roads are great. If the freeway comes to a standstill you just cross over to the frontage road and continue. Doesn't matter if there's an exit or not. Everyone has giant 4x4 trucks so you can just exit where ever you want and hop on the frontage road. Eventually everyone does that and the frontage road gets clogged so timing is everything. Texas is interesting.
