#7 and #10 is all me.........gotta love I-95 from south miami to North palm beach!!!!
I drive it every single day and every day my heart is in my mouth

 

Driving in traffic on I-25 makes me want to kill myself, does that count?

 

Here's part of LA 1 in South Louisiana, and this is a good stretch. http://

 

I haven't been there in a few years, but that is the most dangerous place I can remember.

 

I've driven just about everywhere, the only place I ever got a little nervous about the road, is on the I-285 Bypass on the North side of Atlanta. An 18 wheeler, governed at 63 mph, on that road is no fun.

 

You ever go accross the old Hwy 90 bridge over the Mississippi River in New Orleans in a truck?

 

I have driven pretty much everywhere also and AM traffic on the 35E south of Dallas had me a bit concerned.

 

You'd be REALLY scared on the I-10 here then... 18 wheelers don't have a separate speed limit, they get to go 75 when the speed limit is 75...

 

I-10 thru Houston now is about 20-25 lanes across including frontage roads now. I believe it might be one of the widest freeways in the world!!!!!!!!!

 

my dad took my truck with a pop-up through it. lake pontchartrain is a long ride too.

yah, a dang woman ran a redlight and caused my fender bender. im still pissed at the lady!

 

Didn't say scared. I said nervous. I've ran the length of I-10 many times. Back in the 90's, the only thing about I-10 that was at all nerve racking was crossing over into Louisiana from MS, and thinking your truck was going to fall apart before you got to Slidell. That was a crappy piece of road.

The lanes on I-285 around Atlanta are very narrow on the north side. A tractor trailer has it's tires on the lines on both sides in some places, if it's in it's lane. They did this to get as many lanes as they could in the limited space, without actually widening the road. The lanes shift almost constantly and 4 wheeler traffic is moving at 80-85 mph, when it's not stop and go. The speed limit for trucks is the same as for cars, but the truck I was driving was limited by my company, so it was constantly being passed by everyone, on a road that was poorly designed. It's a lot like standing in the middle of the track at the Daytona 500 and trying not to be ran over, or in my case under.

I used to live in Shreveport, and picked up and delivered a lot to Dallas, New Orleans, and Houston. I-35E can be frustrating, but not particularly scary. Not by comparison to other places anyway.

You got me there. I don't think I have. In fact, I'm sure I haven't. Is it pretty bad? I know that when I think of bad roads, New Orleans and the old PA Turnpike are the first to come to mind.

 

Some of our roads sure do suck and we have some bad drivers, but compared to most third world countries, the USA is a driver's paradise!

Anyone ever try driving in Egypt? Visited there once as a tourist, and I don't think you could pay me to drive there. Total insanity.

 

Absolutely. Just looking at pictures is enough to convince me of that.

 

Try some of the backroad's in Costa Rica during the rainy season.

 

The old Hwy 90 bridge AKA the Huey P. Long bridge was opened in 1932 and not designed for today's 18 wheeler's. It's mainly a railroad bridge and when traffic stop's up over the Mississippi River the whole bridge shake's. You may have a train crossing next to you and ship's going underneath at the same time. Had lot's of fun hauling 9,000 gallon's of gasoline over this bridge daily for 12 yrs. 2 lanes at 10 ft. wide at the most for each. Fog,rain and windy condition's add to the crossing experience. I suggest you wear "Depend's" when crossing for the first time!
