Thanks for the link. I am aware of Lady Bird Johnson's highway beautification acts. On rural highways in Texas, especially I-10 between Houston and San Antonio, the sides of the highway and the median are filled with wildflowers, it's very good looking when the bluebonnets (our state flower) are in season. Even in the big city, TxDOT is planting all sorts of vegetation along the sides and medians of our freeways, giving them a parkway like feeling.

One unique thing about Texas's freeway system is the widespread use of feeder, or frontage roads. You can find homes and businesses whose addresses that don't end in St. or Ct., but rather Fwy. I don't think I've been to another state where you can get right off the freeway and make a right turn and be in your garage.
