Enjoy living in the Lone Star State! The traffic in
San Antonio
is quite bad, ranking as one of the worst in Texas.
It ranks behind
Houston
, McCallen, and
Austin
according to a Global Traffic Scorecard.
Some of the reasons for San Antonio’s traffic problems include:
  • It has a large population
  • The roads are poorly maintained
  • There are issues with the city’s infrastructure
While traffic is inevitable most of the time, there are some things you can potentially do to avoid it:
  • Avoid rush hour if possible. Check to see if you can change the hours of your workday to accommodate better driving times.
  • Use a traffic/driving app like Waze or Google Maps. You can even use both and compare them to find the shortest route to your destination.
  • Check to see if there’s an alternate route that might be a bit longer but could help you avoid traffic jams.
Maybe you can’t beat traffic, but that doesn’t mean you can’t win in other areas like paying less for
