i'm from austin too…..it's like we're a DD gang on this thing.

I just got back from Austin this past weekend, and I have to ask do you natives find the interstate system as confusing and aggravating as I do… Mainly whats with the exits that are five miles from were you actually need to go and all the damn U turns to get to the other side of the interstate wouldn't it be easier if they just built bridges that go to both sides of the interstate like we have here in Colorado?

we hate it. that's how we deal with it. "rush hour" is also the suck.

Ya, I got stuck in "rush hour" twice there. I have to say that I found it easier to navigate through LA then Austin even in rush hour.

There are tons and tons of back roads and secret alternate routes in Austin, though. I cope with traffic by sneakily getting around it ^.^

I was only there for two days for a wedding (which was a disaster) so I had no time to find sneaky back roads… I mostly stayed on I-35 and cursed the traffic.

okay…note to anyone visiting austin, texas, usa…..so NOT go on I35 between the hours of 7am to 10am and 3pm to 7pm. those are the times known as "rush hour" and can only take 2 hours to travel 2 miles. tourist info!

I'm from the complete other side of the Planet… Hastings, New Zealand… loving it up in the sunshine and wishing I had a few cold beers in the fridge!!!
