I drive on this shit every day. We Houstonians still manage to jam up a freeway with 26 freakin lanes.
Only us bro 🤣🤣🤣
highways and car culture in general is super inefficient. and adding more lanes just generates more traffic. what if we didn't design our cities to be so car dependant?
@@vemundkremund3221 it will take 200 years to undo all this crazy stuff. We need better city planners badly.
@@eazy-333 nah, I think there's still hope. just remember that all this car infrastructure madness started about 60 years ago. imagine what can be done in 60 or 100 years from now. public transport works, like so many European countries have demonstrated. even in the us, public opinion is changing. not quickly, but it is changing.
@@vemundkremund3221 100%. I don't have a clue how you fix a place like Houston. If you look at 1920s compared to now, it looks like the city has been bombed.
This is madness at it’s finest highways get wider and wider until there’s no city left just soulless asphalt
I feel like these massive freeways need a light rail system running along the middle. That way there's more options to get around then just driving. More freedom that way.
@@hashiramasenju6058 if you have an effective light rail system, people will use it. It’s called induced demand. The reason why so many ppl in Houston use cars is because the infrastructure is designed such that the only way to get around is by car.
There's only one line and it goes from downtown to the football stadium I think
In my opinion running it down a freeway sounds a bit odd, maybe in a more urban environment but still following a similar route.
Why light rail specifically?
@@dudeman4184 I assume this road is going from the suburbs to the city. The problem with this is that the entire American city planning is garbage.
The suburbs need better regulation allowing for the construction of cafe`s, restaurants, shops, parks, etc so that "villages" can be created. Doing that would allow public transport to be effective. The current suburbia layout is inefficient because
- you can`t have public transport with it
- it`s more expensive to maintain roads, cable and pipes
- you don`t really have communal places
- travel is too expensive
Another thing you Americans should do is just ditch the skyscrapers since they require 40% more gas and 2,5 times more electricity. Just ditch this model all together and start over. That highway is money down the drain.
compact cities with good public transports like Japan and Europe
- more efficient people
- less commute time - less stress.
- more disposable income from not needing a car and expensive maintainance.
- less carbon footprint
- less air pollution
- higher life expectancy
- less dependency on foreign oil imports.
- less segregation between people.
- less fatal and minor accidents.
urban sprawls
- good for oil companies
- good for car companies.
American cities are not European, stop comparing us. Houston is literally the size of some European countries
@@azulaquaza4916 American cities were bulldozed for cars due to auto industry lobbying.
@@lol-ih1tl Actually visit an American city
@@azulaquaza4916 American cities existed before cars were invented and they used to have public transit that was good for its time before they were bulldozed for cars.
@@lol-ih1tl Car culture isnt formed just because a country can't provide it Americans look down on people riding buses as poor and the fact stalkers, predators, and criminals use them to search for their next victims doesn't help its appearance. People prefer their own independence and deciding where they go, and cars offer that. Cities such as Seattle, San Francisco, Boston have excellent public transportation people still prefer their own vehicles.
Imagine what could have been build with the money which was spend to widen the highway more and more. they could have one of the best trains, metro, cycling lanes, for their cities, suburbs and quality of live will rise, if you are not able afford a car, be a teen, elderly, you are prison in your home bc you cant go anywhere.
But Austin started changes for cycling lanes for children, adults and commuting ppl. So there is hope.
Bicycles and trains = happiness apparently
Bullshit… come in Europe to see how GREAT cycling lanes are here 😑
@@tomot919 Still better than this American nonsense LOL (fellow European).
*Awesome great informative video thanks for sharing.👏*
Thank you so much sir for appreciation.
Really so amazing 😍👌👌👍
Wow yogesh sir wonderful video keep continue
Eighty two lk hajur
Best vlog bro always .. carry on ..
👌
Wow amazing place Brother
I live in the Los Angeles area, and I am very impressed with the engineering of the Houston freeways. Of course, yours are much newer. There is no longer any freeway construction, except for improvements in the Los Angeles area. They have been trying to build an adequate metro system. They built one line that ended a short distance from the airport. Years later, they are going to rectify this. I could write a novel about the absurdity of traffic and public transportation in the Los Angeles area. That is why New York City and Paris are my favorite cities. And I could care less about the wonderful weather.
Beautiful video👍️👍️👍️
Amazing place..
Beautiful video! Makes me homesick. 😢
Really amzing bro
Amazing
Awesome views
Eighty one thumbs up hajur hamro chnnl bat
America such beautiful..
amazing drone.fotage😍
This video makes me sad somehow.
I mean, it is kind of impressive. No doubt about it. But i would not like to live in such an inviroment. Lots of concrete heating up in the sun, while there is almoast no shade where one could hide. Uncountable cars and trucks poluting the air, so there is almoast no oxygen but in return you get a lot of dust and smell.
I want to mention, that i do not want to offend anyone living there. But for me as an European this just seams like a bad place to live.
Im European too but look, best we have here is 4 lanes highway… id find it so practical to have this in France for example
It‘s useless. It will only cause more traffic. Improving infrastructure NOT centered around cars will decrease traffic.
@@tomot919 As a Chilean who doesn't live in Santiago, I'd rather they'd build a metro so I wouldn't have to use a car lmao... At least over here there isn't (wide) highways.
@@choosingbegger9799 cars are expensive and expensive to maintain also gas prices high plus if your car breaks down or crashes what now? Get in bigger debt to get another car?
@@choosingbegger9799 As a European I can answer that
- unnecessary expenses
- air pollution
- noise pollution
- deprivation of minimum daily exercise as an afterthought
Cars basically make you fatter, poorer, death-er and more poisoned but hey you`re "free" to be the slave of car and oil company lobby`s.
Big lk sir wating 😇
Wow so beautiful place solta
Nice vid! 🔥
Like it, cool
Nice view.
I visited Houston, I am from overseas. I stayed in Katy and drove over this freeway. It's massive and a feat in engineering. Where I am from we have intersections like this but not at this magnitude. It like real life Jetsons.
Yogest amigo buen contenido cuidate

The aerial views are awesome. Did you record those?
No. I did.
kada ayo hoi yogesh bro
I left there in 1991 to Austin and went back for the first time last year. Came in on 10 and my head exploded. In 1990 I was sitting at the bar at Landry's Sea Food in Katy when came on the TV, SRV dead.
Wow dami dami yogesh bro 29 lane ko road xulo reixa hai
❤️❤️
Daju amazing hai
I’m proud to live in Houston but what did I expect everything is big in Texas
Including the horrendous traffic😍

Bhai. M from India. N watching this video from home.. n really i love USA interstates/Freeways.. bhai. Our india is also now building expressways of uptop 16 lanes wide n with speed limit of 120+kmph. N upto 2024 BHARATMALA Expressway will be complete. Which wll cover entire nation roundly from north to west , west to south , south to east, east to north
Dami dami yogesh bro xulo road rahexa
The crazy part is I live right down the street from IH10 right where the Whataburger and Chillis is
51 lk bro
I thought this was going to be in another country :/ I’m from Dallas and we have highways like these all over. Don’t know if it’s because I drive them all the time or not but I was expecting something bigger. I used to live in NYC so I know how narrow streets/highways can be. I guess it just seems normal to me now.

But to be honest this is just like any other modern high way in a rich place of the US. When I moved to Katy I didn’t think it was so different than the high way from Alexandria to DC because over there it was huge too
This is not standard nor good. If you think this is normal, then you should examine it.
This type of development is completely unsustainable. After the last expansion of the Katy Freeway, transit times went UP. Now NHHIP is planning to add another 4-ish lanes, which I'm sure will solve the problem for good, at the expense of like 26,000 jobs and homes.
Houston is a city that's been constructed for cars, not people.
@@Tysca_ ikr
@@Tysca_ Manhattan is 34 sq miles. Houton is 627 sq miles. Good luck trying to make that walkable or coming up with the money to make a mass transit system that will get you to work anywhere near as quickly.
@@norwegianblue2017 "gOoD LUcK fInDInG tHe MOnEY fOr WAlKiNG Paths, we spent it all on roads."
@@Tysca_ Have you ever been to Houston? Horribly hot and humid ir raining most of the year. Walking paths in most of the city would be a waste of money. The distances to everything are impossibly far to walk anyway.
Wow! beautiful
Ma jodiye la

The reason for this is because i10 is the biggest, widest interchange in America. It streatches out from Florida to Los Angeles I think
You are correct, but it’s not wide continuously. I am from New Orleans, which i10 also runs through, but it’s mostly only 3 lanes throughout the city.
If you are really from Texas 65 means 80 mph
Everyone has Mario stars
0:49 That’s the exact Caption from FreewayJim’s video! (Almost)
Thanks
I love the veiw very beautiful clean 😍
At 5pm on weekdays it becomes world's largest parking lot. ..
Too much or too little of something cant be good. The freeway is definitely a feat, but i believe traffic occours where there are forks, entry and exit points, and at those point’s lights
Beautiful video as always. It makes me realise that we have a wonderful world with full of bright future when I watch the blue sky.
appreciate dear ana🙏
Exept were not. Because of these highways
Yay! concrete and cars 🤣

With such number of lanes, entry/exit points and driving habits (eg a lot of overtaking on the right, high speed drivers etc) I wonder how often someone driving daily on this highway will be hindered by accidents. Also with no visual separation between the two directions I guess an accident on one direction will end up quickly in congestion on the other direction (rubbernecking). Perhaps someone local/driving daily on this road can give an estimate on often this will happen on a year basis?
I enjoyed the ride from Denver to Dallas last year before Covid pandemic, 2019 December. I spent around 15 hours to reach relatives house ( We stopped for food, rest room etc). If you shared the details journey time, it would be appreciated.

Beautiful well built highway. Cheers from Tunisia
It needs 30 more lane to reduce traffic
@@benkoskinen3871 Nah. More lines leads to more traffic
@@locochavo4560 I'm disappointed you didn't get my joke
@@benkoskinen3871 I'm sorry
@@benkoskinen3871 it actually needs less lanes to reduce traffic. More lanes = more traffic

I live in Houston and I didn’t know we had the world’s widest freeways 😂😂😂 to be honest, I thought we had the one of the world’s thinnest freeways. But after I checked St. Paul and Minneapolis and they have the thinnest freeways 😂😂😂
Now if only they fixed roads that merge into highways. Dallas-fortworth tx highways suck
ayo ayo

You couldn’t pay me to live there
Less traffic
Just one more lan bro
If I’m riding in the toll lane, I’m doing 140 minimum… I paid for the lane with no traffic!!
What about the interstate with like 50 lanes in China
It widens to 50 lanes at the toll booths then narrows greatly after that. That width is only for the toll booth.
hell
I drive on Katy freeway everyday and I thought it was to small, they need to add more lanes
That's the problem with freeways - built it and they will come. This is the widest section for freeway in the world and it still suffers from congestion (if you look this up you may find a report about the G4 in China being 50 lanes wide at some point. That claim is false and originates from clickbaity coverage of a massive traffic traffic jam that occurred at a toll both)
@@randomchannel-px6ho damn I was hoping he was being sarcastic
@@benkoskinen3871 no it’s true. The more freeways you build, the more traffic it causes. It welcomes more cars to come and makes people lazy. Even Katy freeway with over 20 lines, still has terrible traffic jams and there are plenty of videos that explain why freeways cause more traffic
@@bobbbobb2022 well NHHIP will solve all those problems for good by adding an additional 4 lanes.
NOT the widest. Try Highway 401.

As a native Houstonian, I absolutely hate Katy Freeway and do my best to avoid it at all costs.
अाहा । सुन्दर 😍😍
