Those colorful spray paint lines on Texas roads mark underground utilities like gas, power, and water — here’s what each color means and why they matter.
MoneyGeek has analyzed overall road quality in all 50 states and released its report. Texas roads did not rank in the Top 10 Best or the Top 10 Worst roads in the US. The roads in Texas came in 15th WORST.
There may be good reasons for the condition of Texas roads. The stats don't lie.
It is not unusual for many of us here in Midland-Odessa to have a little bit of a commute to get to work every day. However, for some folks, it may be 15 to 20 minutes as opposed to bigger cities where they might be on the road for an hour. I myself have commuted to and from work for many years. I joke that I do it in my sleep sometimes. (truly only joking)
For the love of everything do as I say and not as I do when it comes to driving in this area! Oh my gosh. I did it for the second time yesterday and I have zero patience, so there's that. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. When heading into Odessa from Highway 191, if you attempt to take the exit to loop 338, just don't!
*UPDATE: TxDOT has reopened Highway 191 from Faudree Road to FM 1788.
A wreck on Highway 191 near Fauree Road turned into four accidents, delaying commuters on their travels this morning.
