who needs traffic relief?
Too bad the crybabies are preventing it from happening for now.

who needs traffic relief?
I am 100% in favor of building this toll road as pictured since they didn't include even one toll booth or plaza in the entire animation.
seems a bit unrealistic, unless they plan on doing some purchasing of land.
If being opposed to TxDOT taking an existing highway and turning it into a toll road makes me a crybaby then WAHHHHH!
ing toll road idiots.
Use the ing tax dollars that we already pay for this.
Quit blowing our goddamn money on pork, and use it on something usefull.
Novel idea.
Construction should start some time next spring or earlier. 281 will be tolled.
Considering 281 north of 1604 isn't a highway and nothing more than a four lane parking lot with stop lights every half mile, I don't see why turning it into a 8 lane freeway with three lane frontage roads, which will be free to drive, is such a horrible idea. I mean we can leave 281 the way it is now for the next, I don't know 20 years if you'd like.
No need to purchase any land, there's enough ROW on both sides.
The 18 wheelers in that animation are trying to avoid AUSTIN!
MORON, US 281 is a Highway, it's not an INTERSTATE HIGHWAY!Considering 281 north of 1604 isn't a highway![]()
You're calling me a moron?
I know 281 is a designated highway, just like State Highway 16 in both north and south San Antonio or State Highway 87 in southeast San Antonio. And so on.
However, they're just designated that, they don't function like freeways/highways. 281 north of 1604 is designed like a regular surface street thoroughfare not a free flowing freeway with no intersections.
It'll stay that way for 15-20 more years because of lack of funding, yes that sucks, and the way to get construction going now is via tolls.
yes you are a MORON! A Highway does not mean free flowing and no stops! That is an "INTERSTATE HIGHWAY"(AKA the BIG ROAD).
If you want to call me on this fine, you know about SA but I know about the "Highway System"!
Just for kicks, you are a Moron when it come to The Highway system.
He's a bit of a moron when it comes to toll roads too, or maybe he likes paying twice for using the same road.
An interstate highway is just a highway that goes from one state into another.
It's nothing special.
And as for your definition on freeway, well.

Well considering I'm only 22, I never paid for 281 in the first place.
Second, 281 north of 1604 was never funded by tax payer money to be upgraded because had it, it'd be a 6 lane freeway already, but it's not.
MORON, who said freeway and what 1900 dictionary do you use?
Go to any truck stop and ask them " what is the fastest way to Victoria. They will all say HIGHWAY 87.
This is my last post on this, buy an Atlas (a book with maps) and you will see you are wrong. May be what you learned in school has changed. But I have over 300,000 miles driving experience, i'm pretty sure i'm right!
OH , I wasted my time on a 22 year old?![]()
I used dictionary.com, doubt there was internet in 1900.
Oh god, do you have some type of reading problem? I already told you about 87 and it being designated a highway. I get that, I know what that means. But its not a free flowing highway with no intersections.Go to any truck stop and ask them " what is the fastest way to Victoria. They will all say HIGHWAY 87.
Yeah, you schooled me on knowledge already know.
And you did it which such a expansive vocabulary.
Good job.
know you posted a link to the definition of freeway! Here is a link to the definition of Highway, MORON!

Go jerk off and go to bed, you got over your head!
Doubt? Who the are you Al GORE?
Man, you're too much.
Anyway, you want to argue semantics like a 14 year old, you go right ahead.
You want to throw a hissy fit because I said 281 north of 1604 isn't a free flowing highway (freeway if you want to be anal) with no interuptions, you be my guest and go ahead.
