San Antonio is a big city. Once upon a time, the powers that be tried hard to keep the roads ahead of the people. Long before the city grew, the outer belt, 1604, was being built at a time when new houses were in sight, let alone businesses. But the city grew and grew and grew. The traffic is terrible, just like every other big city. Now 1604 is a four lane road with a service road on each side. The road is jammed all the time.
Today we drove into San Antonio from Canyon Lake. On every road, the traffic driving to the lake was constant. The highway, 281 was full of traffic every mile of the way. Getting around the city is becoming increasingly difficult. And during rush hour, it is impossible. Right now I am not driving due to my faulty eyes but I do not even enjoy being a passenger. Too many cars to be comfortable, at least for me. I am not sure that I will ever be able to drive in a big city. My peripheral vision has gone so seeing cars approaching from the side is difficult. Poor Ken may become the sole driver in cities.
Construction is always being done to the roads but the roads are still full of cars all the time. In 1995, the city fathers were trying to ahead of the traffic, but they failed. The city grew too big too soon. Driving in San Antonio is difficult.
