I-35 question for someone in Austin
I went through Austin this weekend on I35 and my GPS kept me on the lower road. What is the upper road supposed to be used for? I thought it might be kind of an 'express' route through Austin.
Thanks,
Thanks,

I often take the bottom because the upper is already a parking lot - at least some people are getting off the bottom. Try the toll roads next time if you are just passing thrue.

I appreciate both responses and I think I'll learn about the toll roads before I go next time. Obvoiusly it's been a number of years since I've been down that way

We picked up the toll road coming up North from 71/183 from the coast and headed North on a Sunday evening - about 20 cars total the whole way. It was just under $5.00 bucks for that strech alone. They even offered to sell us a toll tag at the last booth for $20.00 bucks.

Well, 130 seems to be the way to go. We went through going south early afternoon on Friday and I expected it to be congested. We came back north on Sunday morning and altough it was not all that bad, there was a lot of traffic for what one would expect on Sunday morning.
You guys have been a great source of info for me, thanks very much.
