Congestion Problems
The state’s dramatic growth in population has been concentrated in its biggest urban areas. That growth has far outpaced each area’s ability to meet growing transportation needs — much less allow for needs in future years.
The worst in the state
The maps on this page illustrate the locations of each area’s biggest congestion problems. The number marking each road section corresponds to the corridor’s rank on TxDOT’s 100 Most Congested Roadways list.
The complete 2010 list of the 50 Most Congested Roadways as referenced in Rider 42 can be found here. A downloadable PDF of the list is here.
