Farm to Market in the Fast Lane - Drive Tour Episode 46 (FM 1764, Texas City, Texas)

Описание: Welcome to Drive Tour Episode 46. On this episode, we are taking a look at
Farm-to-Market Road 1764, the only Farm-to-Market road that is a full freeway.
This road is located mostly in Texas City, Texas, offering a direct route to
Texas City from Houston via I-45.

Typically, when a Farm-to-Market road is to be converted to a freeway, the
designation changes to a State Highway. This was the case with Farm-to-Market
Road 149, which today starts in a town called Plantersville in Montgomery
County, just north of Tomball, Texas. It used to start at I-45 on the north
side of Houston. That segment of the road was redesignated State Highway 249
before the Tomball Parkway (then later Tomball Tollway, 249 Tollway, and SH-249
Toll) was built. For FM-1764, that process was skipped for some reason.

This is a six-mile (9.6 km) freeway, so the video is shorter than most. I
slowed it down to 200% runtime (rather than the 250% that was used before or
300% that is currently used) in order to spread the video out more (mostly to
keep the timing of the music.)

Near the end, you'll see a double designation (something I have yet to
encounter), where two separate roads going in different directions have the
same designation. You'll see what I'm talking about near the end of the video.
