Do I need a car in Houston?
Absolutely yes. Houston is one of the most car-dependent cities in the US. Public transit is limited, distances are large, and most attractions, restaurants, and neighborhoods are spread far apart.
What are feeder roads?
Feeder roads (also called frontage or service roads) run alongside Houston's freeways, providing access to businesses and neighborhoods. Vehicles exiting the freeway have right-of-way over vehicles already on the feeder road.
How serious is Houston flooding?
Very serious. Houston sits on flat, low-lying terrain with poor drainage. Flash floods happen regularly during heavy rain. Never drive through standing water - many drowning deaths occur in cars. Follow 'Turn Around, Don't Drown' advice.
How hot does Houston get in summer?
Regularly 95-105ยฐF (35-40ยฐC) with high humidity. Never leave children or pets in parked cars. Park in shade when possible, use a sunshade, and allow the car to ventilate before driving.
