What is wrong with I-35
I want to start by explaining that I currently live in Dallas but I have lived in Houston and Fort Worth. I also frequently visit Austin.
All that being said, I genuinely don’t get how anybody lives in this city. The traffic is insufferable even by Houston, Dallas, and Austin standards. What makes it even more annoying is, Waco does not have the population to really make this traffic make any sense.
What is going on?!? I get its due to construction but I drive pretty frequently through Waco and this has been the case for YEARS. Does the city not care about highways? How have they let it get this consistently bad? Do the residents ever complain to city hall or anybody in power? Have they responded or made any promises yet? Does somebody need to be voted out?
I also want to add, I’ve changed driving patterns just to avoid traffic and it’s still so bad. I’ve driven through at 3am, 9am, 3pm, 6pm and it’s still stopped traffic. I’ve driven through on weekends, weekdays, holidays, etc. and it’s still just as bad.
I guess i’m just wondering what yalls thoughts are and if anybody has some local opinions or some insight.
update: I didn’t think hating on a one of the most hated interstates would piss off so many waco warriors lmao. thanks for the feedback tho, it’s interesting locals don’t really use this highway the way people in austin and fw depend on 35. i hope to actually visit waco soon!
