I’m just learning how to drive here, so I guess I’ll have decent training.

They should serously build some overpasses.I mean, c’mon people,other cities like nacadoches and lufkin built overpasses in no time,and they don’t have trafic at all! And plus Tyler is the biggest city in East Texas,the roads should be handled as such.AND plus, Loop 49 is a waste of time,it’s not like anybody is going to drive on it,(it being a 2-lane road).

The new loop is just charging Tylerites for what should have been done with 323. Damn the man. BTW, they never should have taken down the old courthouse ( http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~txpstcrd/courthouses/SmithCountyTylerTxCourthouseBuild1910.jpg )

i think the new tol road is a great idea. i have to drive to hawkins from beaumont, and i time my trip based on if i’ll miss traffic in tyler. i hope this project works.

Yes, the signs were installed mid 2006. If they would have built a loop with offramps and access roads back in the 70′s, traveling thru Tyler would be great. But TXDOT and the city always want to skimp on roads so now the traffic is horrible. US69 going south out to be the same way(overpasses, offramps, frontage roads). The state is in a rush for tollroads to raise taxes without saying they are raising taxes now. Tyler traffic will always be a mess with short-sighted officials. I wish we had a Guiliani for mayor.

Those overhead signs on Loop 323 are fairly new. I visited Tyler a lot in the late 80s and early to mid 90s and they weren’t there then.
