    As highways around Houston go, 225 is by far the most dangerous IMHO. Lots of trucks, lots of "non-citizen, first time drivers", lots of debris (like bricks) on the road, and if you check out what the trucks are carrying, you might want to stay many miles away. Obviously there's lots of gasoline and the usual dangerous chemicals, but they have stuff like metal alkyls that are nothing but bad news. If the hazmat people come across a metal alkyls wreck, they just set up a perimeter and wait for it to blow, burn, or otherwise self destruct. When I worked along that corridor, there was a windshield replacement company that came by the parking lot once a week to fix multiple cars.

    In this article, it lists Houston as one off the worst cities in the country for drunk driving.

    Way to go Houston!

    There's an intersection in Overland Park Kansas that had an ambulance parked at the corner in a lot 24/7. It was the world's most dangerous intersection for several decades. 75th street and Metcalf avenue.
    Was the old highway (50) west out of Kansas. Go north on 7 across the river or down to 10.
    225 is road through the industrial part of Houston,
    Most every city has the highways connect at center of town, historically. Then they built 'loops' (St. Louis was first) to alleviate traffic. Soon all the business went to the 'loops'. The loop and grid overlaps made traffic horrible.

    Surprising, as tough-on-crime as Kim Ogg is... as many of you Houstonians heard, she and her judges recently made one drunk (who hit/killed two stranded motorists) pay a $100 bond FOR EACH PERSON KILLED. Tough as nails, 'ol Kim!
