Need Driving Info to State Meeting
« on: July 17, 2023, 02:06:52 PM »
I need some info/advice for driving to the State meeting hotel (Renaissance, 2222 North Stemmons Freeway Dallas, Texas). Google Maps and Earth take me from Loop 820 (Fort Worth) to TX 183, to 35E/Stemmons Freeway, to the hotel. Is any of that tollway? I can't tell by looking at Maps/Earth. I want to avoid tollways.
Any help?

You should be ok, 820/183 has an options for tolls and you won't have to get on Dallas Tollway either.

By that, do you mean that 820 and 183 have certain lanes that are toll roads, but other lanes that are 'free,' but likely more crowded and slower?

The nominal investment in a toll tag is 100% worth it when I have to drive to DFW or Austin or Oklahoma.

Can you take a picture of yours and I'll print me a copy of it.   ;D

I'd be happy to for you except it's an RFID tag.

Google maps also has an option when you map directions to avoid toll ways and it should also say in the directions something to the effect of "This route has tolls".

To get to the first option, just click on the options link in the screenshot below, then click on the box by avoid toll ways.

Take a look at attached screenshots below.

Please note that I just used places that are around Houston as an example and your mileage may vary  ;D

Got there. Got out, successfully. Navigating downtown Dallas ain’t my cup of tea. But, enjoyed the meeting.
