Nice vid. I'm addicted to all your TX freeway vids. Can you do an updated version of 87 Crystal Beach? It's a lot better now. Not 100% but much better! :]

Are you allowed to overtake on such roads?

[ScrewdUPClickV2]

as long as the middle divider is not a solid white , and the cross traffic permits passing capabilty , yes

It was really depressing to drive through Crystal Beach and Gilcrest after Ike. I love to go fishing at Rollover Pass (shown at 1:21), and there used to be bait shops and summer homes all around the area. The community is rebuilding slowly, which is encouraging to see, and the hurricane never stopped the droves of fishermen that love to visit. :)
