Title: Dallas & Traffic
1As a college student I enjoying going out to
different places when I have free time, but Im
not a fan of any unexpected traffic that may
delay the amount of fun I expect to have once I
reach my destination.
2A number of places I enjoy going to are in
Dallas, Texas.
3Im never too concerned about the gas consumption
it will take since I live in Arlington due to the
fuel efficient vehicle I drive.
4With this said I would like to educate everyone
on the difficulties associated with traffic in
Dallas.
5By doing this I hope to help resolve any issues
that commuters of the Dallas area may experience.
6According to the INRIX Traffic Scorecard Dallas
ranks number 22 for the worst traffic congestion
in the United States.
7Living in the DFW area you might understand why
Dallas made it to the top 25 cities in the nation.
8The worst congestion in Dallas is I-35E between
Mockingbird Lane and I-30.
9That specific area was ranked 47th worst in the
country for traffic, and the delays associated
with vehicle piling up upon each other.
10Each year, traffic seems to get worse and worse.
11I think it is because there are more and more
people on the road every year.
12Teens that get their first car and people moving
to the area are adding to the daily commuting
group.
13Eventually there will be so many people out on
the road that traffic will be too overwhelming,
without a possible solution people will have to
leave earlier for events which could cut into
their sleep time which is for your health.
14A good way to tackle the growing traffic problem
would be to expand the highways and roads and
also build more toll roads.
15Some people think toll roads are bad, but
personally I like them.
16The toll roads are usually clear and only have a
few people on them, mainly because people do not
want to pay anything.
17I do not mind paying a little bit of money to
drive on a road that only has a few people on if
it gets me around sitting in traffic.
18With this information drivers in the Dallas area
and any visiting commuters from other areas can
get to their destination a bit faster than they
normally would.
19One important thing to remember about commuting
and possible traffic is that planning ahead can
usually save you from the headache you may
develop if you are unprepared.
