Good video well done. Very Low semi count thought maybe it was on a Sunday. Must see video for any tourist I think they could get going in circles....1 pedestrian...I think he was a beggar too.
@1skylinedreamz BTW, there is no such thing as a 9 or 10 stack, lmao. the biggest is a supposed 6 stack in Shanghai which doesnt really count because its only 5 levels of roadway, and one tiny pedestrian bridge. LA has ONE five stack interchange, the Judge Harry Peterson Interchange. Houston has SEVEN five level stack interchanges. we dominate LA, people just associate LA with highways because of their terrible traffic and crazy urban sprawl. Houston is slowly gaining more recognition...
This is actually the THIRD tallest interchange in the U.S.. According to YOU (TX-130 video), the interchange at SH-130, SH-45, and US-183 is the tallest at 117 ft. THIS interchange at I-10 and TX-8 is 115 ft.
The Texas Road System has Feeder roads to compliment the major highway system. They allow the driver to conveniently navigate thru city traffic and make U-Turns along the major Texas city freeways.
@phillyslasher Oh, absolutely not, man. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Houston is comparable to Los Angeles in terms of population or anything. I was just saying that you can't say a 5-stack interchange isn't really one because one of its levels consists of the frontage roads intersecting. LA is a pretty spectacular place, but the fact that Houston's population is half as large and yet its freeway network is every bit as robust is damn impressive.
Well, the Romans did not have the technology the Texans do today, so of course not. And why would they need roads like these, they didn't have vehicles or the weight to need to build mega structures like these. Think next time.
damn i love houston! no other city in the world comes close to our highway system. i wish they would of built this interchange 6 feet taller so the people in dallas would shut the hell up about having the tallest interchange, lol.. i dont see what all the hype is about with the high five. dallas finally got ONE 5 level interchange, while houston has already torn down 20+ year old 5 level interchanges to make room for new ones. without ft worth dallas will never be half the city that houston is.
man its just the dumb folks in Dallas that feel they are the largest city in texas, will take any chance to get a shot in over Houston folks. 19-10 shut the hell up dallas Texas. Little city syndrome trying to compensate for something.. LOL im kidding Mostly. Dallas tx is ehh ok Id say, fair to partly cloudy at best. Still a part of the best state in the union! TEXAS is where its at YO!
We have biger freeways here in California, I lived in Katy for 3 Years and to me that city and Houston in general is a joke fitted only for small brains..
Holy shit my man! 54 seconds in, I stopped to type this. ABSOLUTELY fantastic production you have made with Houston Texas roadways. The detail is superb your facts are all correct on point. its October 16, 2022 today, these videos are 11, 12, 13 years old. I know and am familiar with all these highways and the countless nightmare construction projects taken to get to where we are today. I absolutely love your Map info ( as a map major myself ) and how you lay it over to the topic at hand. Im 45 years old, I've lived in Houston Tx for forty three of these years. Have you considered coming back to make a current video of the same places you recorded before? A before and after so to speak. The scenery would be almost unrecognizable now from then 12 years ago. This is the 3rd video of Harris county roadways i've watched, But i watched them over and over because its allowed me to go back in time in my mind to these places that i wish were still like they were 12 years ago. My man who ever you are, THANK THANK YOU for the time, effort you have put into these, it's incredible for me to see at this time in my life. BRAVO! 👏
So this ramp is the 2and tallest in the usa? dallas beat us by 5 feet i live right net to this ramp:) I drive i-10 at night and im amazed by the size of this freeway
Great video, a lot of technical data that you were able to get your hands on. I can tell you put a ton of effort into this one. It's a huge interchange for sure, but since it's Texas, they will probably build something in the not-too-distant future that'll dwarf not only this interchange, but the High 5 as well.
Wonderful interchange !! It seems to be very the United States, and it is wonderful. The earthquake puts it in Japan. It is necessary to make the interchange strongly.
Impressive engineering - it's nice to see a stack that manages to be quite compact for what it does (probably helped by the width of the I-10 mainline) and doesn't end up looking like a bowl of noodles like the High 5 (the absence of HOV ramps probably helps). Just a shame you didn't (or couldn't) use the Chicane version of Saltwater for the soundtrack - probably be asking to get taken down if you did.
IMO the biggest engineering fault in Houston (and others) TX highways is the ridiculous ups and downs between every cross street. Raise the highways between exits (no cross traffic to worry about) to prevent running into major 'slow traffic blind spots' going over the hill at 60+ mph.
The tallest interchange in the US is in Dallas, Texas 8 miles north of downtown at the junction between I-635 and US 75. The highest speed limit in the US is also in Texas at 80mph/ 128 km/hr. The eastern Austin, Texas bypass is set to have a posted speed limit of 85mph/ 137 km/hr when complete.
I've driven all over that section and if I'd known how tall they were, I probably would have been scared, LOL. Another great video. Was in that area (at Memorial City Mall) during the last minute Christmas rush and it was a parking lot.
I think the alongside roads places scenics are so goods goods, so goods beautiful and so good comfortable and so goods big, and so goods wides. I think the alongside roads places airs are so goods to fresh airs. I think this places environment are so goods comfortable. I think this places climates are so goods goods . I think this places all trees are so goods goods and so goods beautiful. I think this places all stores, all houses and all castles are so goods goods and so goods beautiful. I can able be to the awersomes for it. I am to glads to it. I think are so goods values the delights or wows and praises for it. I love to it. I think are most favorites for it. Thank you for sharing thank you so much that’s right all right ok no problems me too see you soon see you later. Good job goods luck you are welcome.
Widest freeway in the world ( and world's busiest ) is the 401 in Toronto. This behemoth is a minimum of 12 lanes widening to 18 lanes at its widest. This configuration stretches ( once current construction is completed ) for 63 miles. Please see Politifact Texas " World's widest freeway isn't where Sylvester Turner thinks it is " It explains how this false claim originated.
I wish they would of built this interchange 10 or 15 feet taller so people in Dallas would shut the fuck up about the high five being the worlds tallest but either way this is way more satisfying than the high five
@ScrewdUPClickV2 excuse me, but do you see how close flyover ramps are to another flyover ramp is on a stack interchange, and how close the flyovers are to the groundlevel ramps (like N to E). I don't want to be rude, but I would say if you can please look up interchange (road) in wikipedia. Scroll down to hybrid and you will see something like this.
Texans and their interchanges... Almost every interchange in Dallas is painted and pretty much most metro interchanges are stacks.... LA needs more stacks TBH, traffic there is worse.
@phillyslasher "And I know Texas has those frontage roads or whatever doesn't that add to the "stack"?" And? It's still five levels of roads, all carrying heavy amounts of traffic. Just because one level is technically made up of frontage roads doesn't mean it doesn't handle any traffic.
@ScrewdUPClickV2 damn, i rest my case. ha.. do you know of any other country in the world with as many 5 level interchanges as houston? i was thinking possibly china if any since they have that 5/6 stack in shanghai, and are building a very extensive network, but i havent seen pictures or heard of any others in the country so idk. thats pretty impressive if houston tops every country outside the US in that category, and really speaks volumes of the city/infrastructure.
@1skylinedreamz woah dude, calm down. first off.. have you ever been to Houston? second.. traffic in LA is TERRIBLE! houston actually knows how to manage their traffic. while tens of thousands of people have been moving to the region every year, houston has still managed to maintain good traffic flow. la on the other hand, has tens of thousands of people leaving the region, and they still cant get their traffic problem under control.
Hello ScrewdUPClickV2, I come from Germany and we have most only cloverleaf interchanges on our highways (we called "Autobahn"). Its very amazing the huge interchange of america. I like it to show your videos and the music is very good. Do you know what is the high speed on the american highways and where is the tallest and biggest interchange from the USA? PS: I hope do you can me understand, my english is not perfect. I hope you answer my question. Best wishes from Germany.
@1skylinedreamz i never meant for this to be a competition. i was merely taking a jab at Dallas, and their High Five.. i love the PCH, and if you know the area you can avoid some traffic, but there is no way anywhere close to 51 million people are driving around LA every day. even the 17 million number is a little out there. there are only 15 million people in the metropolitan area.. thats to say every one of the residents was out driving their own car, including children under 16.
I want to let you know I think I've used some of your footage and some of your videos slightly and some of the lip sync music videos that I create but I have never made money off of anything I ever did I do it as a form of artistic expression and I didn't know where some of the footage I had gotten from a long time ago I thought most of it came from us copyright free thing but I see where your videos, match up with what I worked with so I hope that was okay I can put your name in the description of those videos but hell I would have to go through them and see which ones they're in cuz I don't even remember
I love Germany. You build the best cars in the world and have no speed limits yet most Autobahn junctions are CLOVERLEAFS? You guys need to take all that great German engineering and build some nice stack interchanges.
As usual, excellent work young sir. I travel this interchange every day of my life; I live near Kirkwood/Katy Fwy, Kirkwood is my exit. I used to work downtown, so went through every day on the Katy. Got a new job 2 weeks ago; office is at Greenspoint, moving to Sam Houston Tollway/290 in January. So now I get to go on the highest levels each way. It never fails to thrill me (I know, dumb, but it's just amazing to me). I really like and appreciate all your videos, please keep doing them!
I've lived right here by katy freeway and beltway 8 for over two years now and I havent figured out how to get up to the 5 level yet....not that I want to...
Yes the most interchange in Germany are the cloverleafs.(or cloverleaf The biggest Autobahn has 8 line. 4 line of every side. The nederlands have bigger highways as germany^^ :D Crazy.
