Dallas Speed Rush Hour Traffic

- a legitimate presentation of dallas rush hour traffic via 3 of the busiest freeways in dallas county i-35e, i-635, and us-75 . no accidents are present in this video , which makes this a good and perhaps perfect example of dallas traffic during the ladder rush hour peaks friday afternoon . video shows the 2nd busiest work day = friday of the week for congested roadways in the metroplex . thursday is actually the most congested day of the week.
along the way i will present according data in relation to the specific roads ways, aadt, and travel times non peak to peak formula known as TCI = rush hour traffic relations per mile , and CSI= most congested specific direction relations per mile . so 1.0 = normal . 1.5 would mean if it takes 5 mins to travel during non peak . 7-8 mins travel times during peak hour will be expected. or 2.0 twice as long.
disclaimer . this may or may not show the legitimate amount of traffic for dallas . video was recorded slightly after peak hours , and not on the busiest day for traffic congestion.
This doesn't look too bad. Acceptable congestion for a major metropolitan area. There are slow patches but no stationary traffic for long distances or time. I know some freeways in the Netherlands where you are stationary for 2 - 3 minutes, then drive a couple of hundred feet and then stationary again. 30 minute delays for 5 - 6 miles are quite common.
Awesome editing. I like how your videos all have a theme (here, rush hour). Pogo by Digitalism, great song! Thank god you got to ride in the car pool lane. Loved that HOV ramp. Keep the good work up!!
Fun, fun, fun!!!!!! Love the route.
I-635 construction is now officially underway. For those wondering, the pay lanes will be below grade. 3 lanes each way, while normal lanes will be built on top. The other major project that is near starting will be the really spectacular 183 project. Think Katy Freeway in Houston with bigger interchanges than the High-Five. There's a video on here of it. Crazy project.
BTW, these freeways you traveled in the video certainly get much worse.
The interstate 635 and US highway 75 high five interchange looks so nice
Amazing video! Watched this since this video was uploaded!
This is definitely not rush hour traffic in Dallas. Dead on for what the freeways look like, but rush hour definitely does not flow this easily- it didn't even three years ago.
That was one of the best videos i've seen in a while, i've been waiting for someone to do vids like this, please PLEASE DO MORE lol thanks again screwd 100000000/10 as always

Did I read that correctly at 3:13? They're going to charge you to drive on a piece of road people have been driving free for years? I'd be pissed off about that if I lived in Dallas...
@ScrewdUPClickV2 Ahh, makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation. Another thing... how do they enforce keeping people out of the HOV lanes? I was looking for cameras but couldn't spot any. How many people have to be on board in order to use an HOV? Is it 2+? Thanks, man. Really appreciate it and keep up the great work.
This video definitely shows some of the worst areas when it comes to Dallas traffic. I've lived in the Dallas area all my life. A month or so ago, I tried to navigate 635 (LBJ) from 35E to Royal Ln/Miller Rd after 6pm on a weeknight, and that was a horrible experience. At least they are starting to work on the LBJ Express. The Dallas Mixmaster also needs work, as it dates to the late 1950s, but even that's years away from being fixed up.
Every single freeway you mentioned is now completely rebuilt . Gotta love TXDOT
Good route, one thing that i've always wondered about dallas traffic: why does 35E become congested, north of downtown, in the southbound lanes in the afternoon? It ALWAYS gets heavily congested going IN to downtown during the afternoon which doesn't make sense to me. Is the new trinity bridge designed to relieve this??
Also, what do you do for a living? are you a civil engineer? I really love your videos you've done a fantastic job of producing them
Wow I checked the new list and a highway in dallas ranked #1
This is a pretty good concept video. I wouldn't mind seeing some more of these from around Texas.
Overall, I would think that the corridors that you traveled, get much worse during peak hours than what you were able to capture on video (for example, a lot of stop-and-go, but no real gridlock, like what's commonplace in many parts of Los Angeles). In my opinion, the worst of the worst in your state is both I-35 and the Mopac (TX 1) in Austin, two freeways that are severely over capacity.
I had a dream that I was driving down this high way and my breaks ran out
Damn.
That traffic looks like I-26 and I-20 in Columbia,SC its just like that jammed packed so bad your moving 20mph and below.
If you look at the way DFW has grown, you can see it unevenly grew to the north, but not as much east/west or south thus there are sections with a large lack of capacity and other sections with few if any problems.
loves the hov lane greatest invention ever lol

The Mopac, in particular, DOES experience near-gridlock for miles in Austin. It's probably almost as bad as what the Katy used to be like (which could legitimately be compared to any L.A freeway, pre-recession).
@XDjojo123 emmm san antonio population is 1.7mil while the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex at 6.5 mil so thats why there is more traffic in Dallas and by the way san antonio sux compared to dallas dont tell me about the 2nd biggest city maybe by city limits. Dfw is the 4th largest in the country and you cant deny that.
Someone needs to drive the Platinum corridor in far North Dallas/Addison along the tollway. Tons of pretty high rises! No one seems to cover that area. My apologies if you have. I'll search :)
Yay! 8D
My hometown! Dallas was much better in 1996-1997 than it is now.
how many lanes r on stemmons fwy????
because to hurry up trfic they should build double decker in that area of stemmons
but wow that is horrific on loop 635
Drove over the road for years the worst traffic is southern CA the craziest drivers by far were in Tx
Dallas has the best highways I've ever seen and manages traffic pretty well for a metro of its size. Honestly I-35E, some sections of 75, and the freeway that goes through Arlington are the only ones I've seen with bad congestion when I lived there for a year. Traffic in Dallas is not bad at all, wish the third world infrastructure in Florida was even half as good.
I moved to Atlanta for a number of years. The traffic there makes Dallas rush hour look like a breeze. I had it take three hours to get back home (in Atlanta) on what was normally a thirty minute trip. Atlanta traffic is far worse. And you run into to it all hours of the day and night.
I don't complain about Dallas/Fort Worth traffic anymore. Ever.
Is Dallas traffic better than Houston? I am thinking about moving from Chicago. Also, does Dallas area have road constructions to add more lanes?
I heard traffic was worse in Houston but Im not sure. I know Dallas hwys are ahead in development than Htown. Yes the Dallas hwys are constantly expanding. As the video said 635 LBJ is in the process of becoming a double decker freeway. By the way there are a lot of Chicagoan here in Dallas. I work with a company from Chi-town. Come on down. :)
vanchi
No prob. Also we have a pretty good public rail system that's growing and is ahead of Houston's..Though probably nothing near as big as Chi. From what I've read the crime rate has stabilized. It was bad here in the early 90's. My Chicago coworkers tell me they dont miss the snow either though we get just a little bit in winter. and I mean little compared to northern standards haha. Good luck in your decision!
JasnoGT lol Dallas has hott girls too. I saw nothing but hott woman in Plano and Carrolton when I visited for a week.
JasnoGT Houston is pretty bad Yesterday i got on I10 from 610 on the East side of town going west it took me 3 hours to get out of houston.. I drive it everyday
ford10196 Wow. That's horrible. I've been stuck at 1AM on 635(Dallas) for almost 2 hours just trying to go a few miles. lol
5:12 - 5:25 WTF!?
5:23 How do cars keep from colliding into each other?
No offense to Texans, but some of your highways look like something inspired out of a "Dr. Seuss" book.
It's just the traffic jam really
@ScrewdUPClickV2 - I've been driving trucks for 17 years, 13 with Yrcw. You will get a fine if you get caught for a left lane violation. Each city sets its own fines but I do know the El Paso fine is $500.00 for a big truck. Dallas,Memphis$150.00,Atlanta$275.00 and all of the rest of these cities place these signs up for a reason(Money). They will bust your BUTT if you get caught. A truck got busted passing me Friday in Fort Worth on I-30. Like your vids, keep it up!
What's the name of this song?
Tahjna Calhoun the song is digitalism by pogo...I like the song too....freewaybrent uses this song in his San Francisco freeway vid....it really fits check it out
mo kay sweet
Minneapolis traffic may get bad, but it never gets this bad. I was surprised considering TXDOT is one of the better ones. I noticed those lanes closed up really quickly once you got past downtown
arodgefan589 This is nothing man. You should see the roads today....and it seems half the license plates are not Texan. Much has changed with hwy construction since this vid. Not to mention more highrises in uptown since this was made...And the cranes keep building...
arodgefan589 This is 2011. Must be worse now. This doesnt look as bad as Toronto.
Crazy.... :)
watching this on 2016 and traffic still looks the same, theres a shit load of people in Dallas now and still causes traffic
@ScrewdUPClickV2 ,Fine is a total of 205.00 in Fort Worth including court cost!!!!!!!!!
So the Dallas rush hour is really that bad? And they're going to be able to handle a Super Bowl next week? Well, all I can say about that is Good Luck.
a lot-of cars
wierd and in san antonio the 2nd largest city in texas there is not that huge impact in all the interstate only when there is construction there would be traffic
wow dallas must mean that there r lots of suburns in dallas and fw
It is now fixed
Okc gets pretty bad
@oreodogdfw true dallas is way better and bigger then san antonio and is way nicer to
Still the same
This is definitely Dallas and DEFINITELY NOT rush hour.
Dallas didn’t have horrible traffic back in 2011 and Frisco wasn’t really developed/populated back then. Now, traffic is standstill especially in Plano, TX and in Richardson since McKinney is booming.
This is nothing compare to Boston. Its always bumper to bumper in rush hour...
Bekim Krasniqi It isn't like this in Dallas, this isn't rush hour. It's 8:00 and traffic is way, way worse
@ScrewdUPClickV2 Ahh, makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation. Another thing... how do they enforce keeping people out of the HOV lanes? I was looking for cameras but couldn't spot any. How many people have to be on board in order to use an HOV? Is it 2+? Thanks, man. Really appreciate it and keep up the great work.
