Its a complete mess and its really freakin' confusing to try and get around here.... People drive 50 miles an hour, and good luck trying to interpret the signage and all the arrows. I missed my exit like 4 freaking times!!! The lanes are narrow, and the exits are sharp and abrupt.... yikes!!! Feel sorry for anyone who has to live here.
I was out there a few weeks ago for a week with the family. It wasn't that bad...Some of the signs were a little confusing, but not so bad. Then again, I was using a nav system...
Worst part about driving in SA...all SA residents believe Yield signs are Stop signs no matter the situation. There could be no one coming for miles and they will hit the breaks. When I went to UTSA, it took me a while to get used to that. I rear ended a few people because I knew no one was coming but the person stopped anyway.
I was there last week for America's Team training camp and I didn't have a problem. Were you drinking and driving?
worst drivers in the state. i live in austin and imo s.a. is much worse for traffic, congestion and bad drivers.
I'm tired of listening to this complaint about drivers here. I know alot of people from houston and this is the thing I always hear, as if for some reason Houston drivers are gods gift to the freeway. Driving in SA sure beats sitting in H-town traffic for hours on end. Not sure how you people stay sane in those traffic jams.
Yet you didn't say it wasn't true. You people stop at Yield signs no matter what. It's r****ded. Have you ever heard of using mirrors or looking over your shoulder before the ramp to see if someone is exiting? You don't have to come to a complete stop before doing this. BTW, I live in Austin and have no problems with the traffic here (except for the random traffic on 35 around 6th street on Sunday afternoons. What's up with that?). I think it's funny when people complain about it as compared to the other major cities.
The interchange at 410 and San Pedro, ugh. I hate driving in San Antonio. Especially the north end of 410 near the airport and Castle Hills. The lanes are extremely narrow.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Unfortunately, that part of 410 is the vicinity I drive when in San Antonio on business. From my experience, Austin has the most heartbreaking traffic in the state. Houston is next (I live outside Houston). For such a rinky dink zero of a town, San Antonio's traffic shouldn't be nearly as bad as it is. I HATE going there and feel sorry for people stuck living there. Last week I was in Dallas and a couple of their radio guys who covered the Cowboys training camp had a few choice words about San Antonio. This is one thing I can agree with Dallas-ites on. The ONE thing I like about San Antonio is Fiesta Texas. Took an annual day trip up there two weeks ago with a friend and our kids. No reason to spend the night, though.
I remember in driver's ed I didn't know what a yield sign was so I would just slow down a little bit when I saw them and it turned out I was pretty much right lol
Just moved to SA from Houston...and while the drivers are a little more polite, the can't drive worth a crap. Too timid. I'd rather be cut off than sit there actually trying to let a person in but them being too scared to do it goign 60 miles an hour. Geez, drivers were more aggressive in College Station than this.
