I-10 Through Houston

I've driven straight through many times (MH with toad). It's not bad (for me).

Just go straight through town at that time. The freeway is fine, especially on the west side of downtown. Even better if you can hit Houston around 10:00. From east to west, neither Loop 610 or Sam Houston Tollway (takes you WAY out of your way) will help you.

Avoid that area. That route was awful!!

Advice given to go straight on thru on I-10 at mid-morning or mid-afternoon is best.
Traffic will be heavy, but it is also heavy on all the loops, but going thru on I-10 is the shortest way.

Straight through. We just did it 2 weeks ago at mid morning and had no issues. Busy, but DW was driving and no one was in a panic.

Travelled Sam Houston tollway last March and charged by the axle. Think around $5.75 for 4 axles then drove 5 miles and charged again. Toll booth access was very narrow and tight for our 100" wide 5ver. Traffic was miserable in Houston area.

If at all possible, try going through on a Sunday morning. There' hardly any traffic on Sunday mornings.

I'd go straight through. No matter what, you'll hit traffic, and sometimes the loops are worse.

The best is straight through. IMHO its easier at rush hour as the cars are moving slower so its easier to change lanes if you need to. Just roll down your winder, put on your blinker, give a nice big friendly wave asking to be let in. Most times it works beautifully.

COmpared to the east coast for the first 20 years of my driving, these folks are MUCH friendlier. I tow a trailer of some sort pert near every day and have no problems.

At that time of day, your best bet is straight through on I-10.
