Wtf is up with your highways? Lol. Drove through briefly going to galveston and trying to stay on 45 is a whole lot more difficult than it should be. I dont know how much of this is accredited to my POS GPS, but still. On the way back following the GPS's directions I ended up getting shoved off onto 610 somehow.

Also, I saw two semi trailers moving oversized loads. Looked to be pieces of large water/oil tanks (think HUGE cans). Both had police escorts on and off the highway, but the dickwad in the 87 pathfinder running the wide load sign about got my wife and I killed by pulling onto the highway at 15mph and trying to block traffic for the semi.

Crazy *****, all of ya.

Read signs + follow sign directions = staying on 45, it's not too complicated

As for the dumbass in the pathfinder, I will admit Houston has some of the absolute shittiest, selfish ******* drivers I have ever seen.

I can see how its hard to stay on 45. Those giant green signs and giant symbols painted on the road are hard to see.

Really the sad thing is that they are put there at the last time you can get into the lane that exits. Need to be posted farther up the road and pointing at the correct lane, not the white stripe in the middle.

Houston roads suck, but not as bad as the drivers.

Majority of Texas drivers have mimfs(most important mother ****** syndrome) think they are in more of a hurry, have more of a right away all the time, and just generally a more important mother ****** then anybody else on the road....

But that's just IMO.

Drivers suck, but not sure how you couldnt' stay on 45, with the big giant signs pointing and the arrows/signs painted on the hwy it's hard to miss, now coming on 10 could be another story at the 45 interchange due to construction, but 45... wow not sure how ya messed that one up lol

I dunno there is that part after Dixie Farm Rd. where it kinda curves a little due to construction... It fucked my whole routine of driving on 45!

Stay in the middle lanes and you won't ever have a problem.

Ill admit most of my problem was listening to the damned GPS. When im somewhere im not familiar with I tend to default to the gps instead of reading signs and trying to determine my own route, damn the digital age.

you deff did yourself a favor by taking 610. 45 through the city sucks.

Otherwise I love the highway/feeder system here. WAY better then tons of cities I've been in.

Ohh..By the way...610 and 225 are by far the most dangerous roads in America for Hazardous Materials being moved by semi trailers...Enjoy the final ride of your life!!
