    Fwiw, feeder lanes probably shouldn’t be counted in Texas because they’re basically glorified city streets. Businesses can have entrances and exits on frontage roads, so there’s not really anything special about them except that they have a slightly higher speed limit (50~60mph vs 40~45mph) and they have immediate access to the highway.

    An interesting article to go along with this.

      The feeder there is also almost certainly 45. So not really any faster than normal stroads.

      I was going to ask if they count the frontage roads as part of the highway in TX. Because that’s not right.
