What's it like driving in the Dallas area? I have one word for you.....MERGE! Yep, when driving around the DFW learn to merge and learn to do it quickly! Sometimes I seriously feel like I'm driving in a XBOX 360 video game. Mainly because of the high speed and merging maneuvers I have to do on freeways.
By far the strangest thing I had to get used to is that some freeways here merge into another freeway. Yes I said merging freeways....there is no off-ramp that leads to another freeway they just simply merge. One freeway ceases to exist and goes right into another freeway. So you are driving on one freeway then the next minute it merges into another freeway and you are quickly checking to see if you have space to fit your car into the merging lanes of the other freeway. Scary if you've never seen that type of merging before.
Dallas has a ton of freeways compared to anywhere else I've lived. I'm finally learning my sense of direction better. I can maneuver on these freeways pretty darn good now. I'm not going to go so far as to call myself a pro but I'm inching closer and closer to seasoned veteran on Dallas freeways.
