Driving Around Texas: Preparations and Suggestions

Driving Around Texas: Preparations and Suggestions

We get so used to decorating our homes, that we rarely care to decorate our vehicles — and this makes sense — the decorations in our homes will be more quite in the ours or friends life for a longer time — as opposed to the decorations in our homes would be quite shorter. However, here are a few important things to consider before you hit the road in this state full of variety to ensure your trip will be as enjoyable and safe as possible. Here is a guideto seeing Texas by car.1.GetYour Vehicle ReadyCheck vehicle maintenance before hitting the road. The roads in Texas run long and winding and the weather can change from hot summer to icy winter in some areas. Make sure your tire pressure, tread depth, and oil levels are where they need to be. And, of course, make sure your car's cooling system is working properly; temps can reach searing levelsin the summer. It's also smart to have an emergency kit with a spare tire, jumper cables, flashlight, first-aid supplies and water.2.Follow TexasDriving LawsFamiliarize yourself withdriving laws in Texas. You're required to put the phone down because the state has a hands-free law — it's illegal to drive with a handheld device. The speed limit on many of the interstates is 70-75, but always check the posted signs, as limits will often vary. Stay alert in school zones, where limits are reduced at certain times of the day. Texas also has a move over law that requires drivers to change lanes or slow down when they approach emergency vehicles, tow trucks, or road maintenance workers.3.NavigateTexas HighwaysInterstates 10, 20, 30, 35 and 40 run crosswise throughout the expanded state of Texas, with myriad highways in between. Other major highways include US Routes 69, 75, 83, 87 and 90, which all connect the cities.Check which route to use through trustworthy GPS or map services but have a paper map as backup. Toll roads, such as the tollway system operated by the Texas Tollway Authority, will require electronic toll tags or pay upon exit.
