Safety Tips

Determine which entrances and exits you will need to use prior to your trip. For a faster commute around North Texas, learn how you can access the TEXpress Lanes on the five major corridors which are currently open. The Maps section also features detailed maps for each corridor.

Enjoy faster, more predictable travel on TEXpress Lanes. Even during peak travel times throughout the day, our congestion-management pricing—effective after the first 6 months following an opening—aims to keep traffic moving at least 50 mph.

Local law enforcement personnel patrol the TEXpress Lanes and enforce all traffic laws and HOV 2+ rules.

TEXpress Lanes offer free roadside assistance to help you with any minor emergencies, like changing a tire or jumping a dead battery. If you are stranded, just remain in your vehicle until our roadside crew arrives. 

TEXpress Lanes feature wide shoulders, which provide extra capacity to accommodate any incidents that occur inside the lanes. If you must stop for any reason while you're in the TEXpress Lanes, pull safely onto the shoulders.

Concrete barriers completely separate the TEXpress Lanes from the adjacent free general highway lanes, making driving on the lanes both safe and reliable.

Current toll pricing is posted on highway signs well in advance of every TEXpress Lanes entrance. Dedicated ramps will guide you into the lanes and back onto the general highway lanes and frontage roads without having to cut through traffic to access them.
