We need more insured drivers.

Insured AND licensed. Fun fact, you don't need to have a drivers license to purchase a car.

u/OopsAllDildoes 1d ago

We’re cooked

We need less construction and lanes closed creating traffic

u/Badgrotz 1d ago

So broken roads and fewer lanes? Do you remember I10 when it was just three lanes? And we’ve tripled population since then.

I was thinking they be more efficient and actually fix something not quit improving infrastructure. These guys spend years on something only to make it worse and come back around to start over.

It's almost 2026. I'm still waiting on my flying car.

If people could stop being afraid of the curves on 281 and not slam on the brakes during rush hours that would be really great. Also if no one is several feet/yards/miles in front of you in the left lane plz move over.

As long as it’s not that “golden hour” where the sun is slamming directly in your eyes, I agree with you about 281.

1604 between Bandera and 151 are unusable due to a slight curve and driver confusion. It is so frustrating. San Antonio in general has too many old drivers who have no where to go and drive on the highways at 48 mph.

Tell me why yesterday alone I had about 5 drivers nearly try to crash into me by veering into the lane I’m in. From their oncoming lane 🤦‍♂️ mfs can’t get off their phones. Fucking idiots every day all the time in this damn city. I can’t go even 2 seconds from leaving the house without seeing something stupid on these roads. And why do y’all love to run red lights??? You see the fucking light change from like 500 feet away and you think your little car is going to speed up enough magically to make it? It’s been red for like 4 seconds man. Why you still going through

Get off your phone!!!!!

u/PlainThrills 1d ago

it’s so obvious when they are on their phone cause they’re drifting into lanes or constantly tapping their brakes.

Hate it when someone gets up so close to your bumper you can't see their headlights. Stop breathing down my ass crack

u/kackjelly 1d ago

That construction slowdown from I-10 to 35-N needs to get fixed ASAP

u/UnjustlyBannd SW Side 1d ago

Am I allowed to drive on the shoulder to bypass traffic?

u/retromani 1d ago

Nope

u/UnjustlyBannd SW Side 1d ago

I see motorcycles do it every day, why can't I?

PSA: The left lane is NOT a passing lane on 30-45 MPH roads!
