Houston Traffic

[icon: automobile] A bit of a Warning: Houston drivers are very chaotic, as are our streets. The streets are not well maintained, and the signs are not always clear (and don’t give much warning). Please, don’t try to drive California speeds here — with the drivers, poorly maintained roads, and inadequate signs speeding becomes quite dangerous.

Highway speed limits are 55 or 60 mph.
Streets are typically 35 mph.

Houston can flood. During heavy rain visibility can drop dramatically and roads become slippery. Pull over if necessary and wait it out — it never lasts more than about 15 minutes.

If you want to check the freeway conditions, here is the Houston Real-Time Traffic Map website.

If you get lost, call one of us on our cell phones — we should have emailed those numbers to you already (if not, please ask for them).
