Câu hỏi thường gặp: Lái xe Dallas
Do I need a car in Dallas?
Yes. Dallas-Fort Worth is one of the largest and most car-dependent metro areas in the US. DART light rail covers some areas but most attractions, restaurants, and neighborhoods require driving.
How do toll roads work in Dallas?
Dallas has an extensive toll road network (NTTA). Get a TollTag for automatic billing at discounted rates. Without one, your license plate is photographed and you're billed by mail at higher rates. Rental cars may have built-in toll transponders - ask your rental company.
What happens during a Dallas ice storm?
The city essentially shuts down. Dallas has minimal ice/snow removal equipment. Bridges and overpasses freeze first and are extremely dangerous. Stay off the roads. Stock up on supplies beforehand. Even 0.25 inches of ice causes hundreds of accidents.
How big is the DFW metroplex?
The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex covers over 9,000 square miles with 7+ million people. Dallas to Fort Worth is about 30 miles. Arlington (home of AT&T Stadium) is halfway between. Plan for significant drive times between destinations.
