If you are trying to head West on I-10 from Woodlawn Road, you will likely sit at two separate lights for close to 6-7 minutes. The intersection at I-10 and Woodlawn/Fredericksburg is an absolute nightmare. From a few people I’ve spoken to, they’ve asked D10 councilman but they say nothing can be done even though they can just add a raised median to the double yellow striped section that is currently there.

Then you have drivers coming off of O'Connor into the HEB parking lot that back traffic up into the box during rush hour. Drivers constantly try and cross three lanes of busy traffic to get to the opposite side out of HEB and cause jams but most of the time accidents. Nacogdoches and O'Connor…specifically the section between HEB and Walgreens. Multiple short lane switches, merges and flip-flopping yields. According to the San Antonio Police Department, stop signs all around the city are confusing for San Antonio drivers. It’s almost like traffic laws don’t exist at that corner. Every minute someone runs that stop sign. The intersection of Starcrest and Hidden is terrible. Once 211 is opened, all that four-lane traffic from Culebra will be dumped on the 4-mile, two-lane portion of 211. Soon Highway 211 will be opened from Culebra Road to Potranco Road but no widening construction is taking place on 211 from Potranco Road to Highway 90. Potranco Road, even though they widened it about three years ago, still experiences heavy traffic because of continued development from 1604 west to the Medina County line and beyond. Intersection of Highway 281 and Bitters Road is very dangerous. The Texas Department of Transportation and San Antonio need to build the overhead lanes. Too much capacity with no chance of ever fixing.īandera Road from 410 to 1604. Same with the ramp from I-10 east to 410 east and I-35 from Wurzback to Austin (or any direction for that matter). The ramps from 281 to 410 – poor design, as usual. I have lived in southern California and Washington DC and never been intimated by heavy merging traffic as I am by this intersection. May take a little longer but it is much safer.

I avoid this intersection by exiting to 1604 west and going under the overpass to the stop lights and turning east on the access road. Once you have merged here you are confronted with east bound 1604 traffic and traffic exiting onto Tradesman. Once you are on the overpass you are confronted with traffic from I-10 south merging with 1604 east traffic on the overpass. Once you merge, the traffic from 1604 heading east on to I-10 north causes additional confusion. The intersection always causes heavy congestion from traffic turning onto I-10 heading south, the yield sign causes headaches for traffic turning onto 1604 east. Josie Norris/San Antonio Express-NewsĬoming from Boerne on I-10 south and turning onto 1604 heading east. overpass north of San Antonio during rush hour on Friday, Nov. 281 near the Loop 1604 intersection traffic as seen from the Donella Dr. 281 south to Loop 410 W exchange, 281 south by Trinity (for some reason), I-35 (all of it is an attack on humanity). Zarzamora Street between Interstate 35 and Loop 410. The overpass and subsequent overpass over Westwood loop did nothing to help the traffic during the afternoon rush. You wait 2-3 minutes for maybe 1 or 2 cars to exit or enter the neighborhood.

I have a few in mind: Interpark Blvd/Wood Valley near 281/Bitters is one. I do want to point out relatively non-busy/non-vital intersections where the stop light takes forever and should be re-timed.
