traffic

It may not be too surprising to hear that a state our size has four of the deadliest intersections in the United States. It seems like everywhere you drive these days in Texas there is a good chance another driver is not paying attention to what they are supposed to be doing or they are just disregarding any and all traffic laws...

It never fails, someone you know moves away and within a few months they're saying I sure miss this restaurant or that business. Because lets face it, even though some of us complain on the daily that there ain't a dang thing to do in Midland-Odessa, there are still some things you would genuinely miss if you moved away.

Things that frustrate the crap out of me. Long lines at traffic lights when I don't expect it. That is how it went down this week. With all of the transplants here in the 432 in the last few years, I'm used to a little more traffic than usual, specifically on 42nd st. in Odessa and Andrews Hwy. going into Midland. But this one I did not see coming...

Are you a honker? lol Every now and then I am sitting at a red light, chillin waiting for it to change and all of a sudden I hear honking. Not at me, because my worst fear at a stop light is spacing out or being on my phone and not realizing the light has turned green and get honked at!

Traffic Backed Up on I-20 Due to Wreck

I don't know about you but I've pretty much gotten used to traffic in this area. We just know that there are going to be potholes all over the place and we must be careful not to go speeding through them, we know that there will be orange cones and road work signs randomly throughout the 4-3-2 but this I don't like....

This scene is nothing new to West Texans these days. It's not unusual to drive around the 4-3-2 and see the orange cones or barrels. Road closed, construction ahead or what have you. Just know that at this point in time, this is what you will be dealing with if you travel near the B93 studios, long lines at the light at the intersection of 191 & 1788.

I think it is the understatement of the year for me to say traffic is CRAY here in the 4-3-2! Omigosh. Anyone else low-key afraid to drive anywhere these days? Take this intersection for example...191 and Andrews Hwy. driving into Midland. Holy crap! I haven't been to this area in ages and I quickly remembered why!

some of the spots you might try to avoid if you can help it.

Someone is going to pull out in front of you.
