I-10 Through Houston

[jamjrks]

Traveling in a couple weeks from east to west on I-10 through Texas. What's the best route through or around Houston? 610 north loop, 610 south loop, I-10 through the heart of Houston, or the Sam Houston Parkway/Tollway? Should be getting to Houston on a weekday around 9 A.M. Thanks.

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.
