Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Coming east out of Ft. Worth, how many suburbs must one travel through to get to Dallas?

Answer: 1

At SH 183 and Amon Carter Blvd., you are in Ft. Worth. After you cross into Dallas County, you are in Irving. Once you get across Texas Stadium to Regal Row, you are in Dallas, so you only are required to drive through Irving.

2. Which US highway would one take to go from Texarkana to Houston?

Answer: US 59

US 71 lies only within Texarkana. US 80 and US 82 are east-west routes. US 59 going south is Exit 220A off of Interstate 30. US 59 reaches Interstate 30 at the Texas-Arkansas state line (Exit 223).

3. How many US highways run through Abilene?

Answer: 3

US 83 and US 84 is known as the "Winters Freeway." US 277 runs along with US 83 from Anson to S. 14th St. in Abilene. US 277 exits the freeway en route to San Angelo. Until it was decomissioned, US 80 also ran through Abilene.

5. How many cities do both I-35W and I-35E go through?

Answer: False

FM 121 runs from Tioga to east of Van Alstyne. SH 121 runs from Bonham through McKinney, then southwest to the airport. At the SH 114 merge, it runs concurrent for about 2 miles before heading southwest again. SH 121 ends at downtown Ft. Worth.

Loop 12 and Belt Line Road loop around Dallas. I-635 partially loops around the city. All three of them at one point or another are within the city of Dallas as well.
