This is going straight to my favorites list. Downtown Dallas has, easily, one of America's standout skylines. The fact that it's ringed on all sides (with several spokes heading away from downtown) by freeways (both ground-level and elevated ones) makes Downtown Dallas a perfect skyline for filming at night. I was thinking, "I wonder if he's going to feature the High 5 interchange at the end, just to put the icing on the cake?", and sure enough, there it was! 6 stars*, my friend.
It's hard to wrap my mind around how big the highway infrastructure is in D-FW. I supposed it would take close to 100 or so videos to sort it all out. It's interesting to me that Texas has invested so much in road infrastructure yet you don't hear much about subway service in D-FW or Houston. I'm sure it exists...but again the emphasis seems to be on road network. Which is a very pro-business approach. Given the state of things right now, pro-business is not a bad thing at all.
@VaFreeways -They do have DART rapid transit in Dallas. I saw in an article recently where Texas has the #1 Transportation infrastructure for business of all 50 states, mostly due to Highways & Airports I would think.
@VaFreeways D-FW has a pretty large rail network in terms of mileage. The TRE runs from downtown Ft Worth to Downtown Dallas. The Red Line and Blue Line both run from the northern suburbs through Downtown Dallas to southern Dallas. The M-Line runs through Uptown Dallas to Downtown and is about to be expanded through downtown. Money approved. The huge Green Line and Orange Lines are under construction running from the Northwestern burbs and DFW-airport to downtown. All this started in 1996.
Wow, that's really an awesome view of Dallas at night. That lighted arrow on I-30 is probably the only arrow w/ lights in the country on an urban freeway that I can think of. I'm ready for that next video.
@Bryant5493 Thanks Bryant, my son loves that lighted arrow :)
In the next video you'll get the next best thing to seeing the High Five in person, it is the most impressive interchange I've ever seen, from what I gather the only other in it's class is the I-110/I-105 in LA, which I've never seen personally.
excellent smooth music - makes the TX driving experience seem stress free, some really awesome effects in this video - love em! will never forget my first TX driving experience, thrilling fun obviously I survived!

Jim, how did you change the video clip without having to reupload it (I can tell by the changed intro at the beginning)?
FreewayAndrew 1 year ago
@FreewayAndrew - I did not change anything?
Freewayjim 1 year ago
@Freewayjim At the intro, I see the outside screen part of the camera on the intro. I'm not sure if you had that when you first uploaded the video.
FreewayAndrew 1 year ago
@FreewayAndrew -I can assure you, nothing changed after it was uploaded.

3:47 - I've never seen that in my life (lighted arrows like that). Very cool. :-)
Love the "High-Five." One of the most impressive interchanges that I've seen. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to see it in person, one of these days.
Love your transitions in this video. They very awesome.
