Man, talk about hitting close to home - I live in the immediate vicinity of the end of this video, in Sugar Land. As this video shows, most of the drivers around here have no idea what a turn signal or side-view is used for - notice all the skid marks along this freeway? 59 really clogs up at every major intersection (I-610, I-10, TX 288, Beltway 8), so even though this is the most direct route for me to the "big" airport (IAH), I'd rather take the tollway around town - less nerve wracking!

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@ChrisK529 you know why it clogs up . it is the 2nd busiest overall per mileage freeway in texas .. i-45 in houston is the first overall busiest per mile..

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@willubhave just waiting to finally refilm and push the limits of this video way beyond the beltways .i will film when the 5 stack at east tex is finished

[phanggrl]

I hate getting stuck on US 59, especially when your on the far left side of the many lanes. Its a pain to get through the traffic to get to the exit on the far right.

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@phanggrl ya . i feel ya on that ... if you study it and determine which lane is continious . in fact its the 2nd most outer . you can ride in that lane throughout the city.

[PowderBlue3]

One of busiest highways in H-town , if not the busiest !

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@PowderBlue3 US-59 SW is one of the busiest .. prior 2008 it was all about the 59 sw being the busiest in the state , however i-45 north freeway currently holds the title , from downtown to i-610 holds a complete 370k aadt . with mile per mile not dropping below 260 in conroe texas , making it the busiest stretch and the busiest section in the state

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@willubhave I already Got the key , and i got it on lock .. Htown Man

[aswchris]

4:45 that depressed part is one of my favorites!

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@aswchris i agree . thanks for watching boss

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@aswchris they say there is only 2 suspension bridges in texas . i say they take another look at that number 6 in houston . 1 in bridgecity , and 1 in baytown/laporte

[FreewayBrent]

Jesus Christ, the number of ramps to count in this video aren't just in the tens, but literally the hundreds. I stopped trying to keep track after the 3rd minute or so.

I drove this freeway a few times this summer; definitely something you would see in Orange County!

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@willubhave i got h town on lock . aint ne1 gonna ever touch the work that i have done with it .. seriously 5 night vids . and almost every freeway section in town , not to mention a few sections covered in both directions , .. we gonna close up houston freeways with a big bang here very soon , then im gonna move to some spefific roadways , mini freeways

[eluko79]

Sick video man. Awesome route.

[mfastx]

great vid! 3:30 to 5:00 is my favorite stretch of freeway in Houston. I think that is the way a freeway should be. Elevated of sunken with no frontage roads, strip malls, and car dealerships.

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@mfastxthe this whole stretch is mine . but i-610 west loop is off the chain . katy freeway be good also

[tigerstorm24]

wow thats was an awesome video of both eastex freeway and southwest freeway

[peanyous1]

[VPovver]

Yeah thanks...i like your videos.... Music also good)))

[Bryant5493]

Cool video, man. Love that smooth concrete.

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@Bryant5493 i cant think of any freeway that ive seen that is this massive mile per mile .. its a little bumpy dont kid your self . but a mustang . and that i have my tripod solid as a rock . as well as upper stabilazion near the camera helps a ton

[AlvinHDavernport]

@ScrewdUPClickV2 That's right. Katy fwy has some sections where it just obliterates any other freeway known to man in terms of lane count, but the thing about US-59 is that it's consistently HUGE for an obscenely long extension. And since it's not divided into HOV and nonHOV lanes it looks and feels wider than Katy fwy.

[FreewayTitan]

Nice job, but where are the views exactly?

[FreewayTitan]

@FreewayTitan I see what you mean, of the skyline. That view is awesome at 3:31!

[VPovver]

@FreewayTitan Man what's your car?

[FreewayTitan]

@VPovver 2005 Ford Focus or a 2003 Ford Escape. I am not old enough to drive, my parents take me in their free time, or while we are traveling.

[VPovver]

@FreewayTitan awesome...i'd like to make some video but i dunno how to fix ma camera...

also dunno how to convert video from VOb into avi...and cut it....

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@VPovver sony vegas will recognize any file type u can throw at it ..

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

@VPovver br creative .. i mean if u have the money go out and buy a tripod .. if not u can always do wat i did when i started .. just secure it somehow to the dash .. lol tape it
