190 @ 78 Lavon Highway / Brand rd. – Northeast Pkwy area
This is an ugly ugly spot – they pull out all the stops here ( is that a pun? )
Garland Police on Motorcycles under the 78 bridge, z-28 camaros and mustang 5.0s on the side of the road, constables, state troopers in their cruisers and H.P. mustangs, garland cruisers in the medians. You name it.
I drive this part 3+ times daily or more, and there will usually be a policeman somewhere close.
Seems like lately there has been less Garland cops and more D.P.S. officers,,,, I don’t know who frightens me more 🙂
They have built ’emergency vehicle’ turnarounds every half- mile or so on the 190 medians,,,, so they can go make a U real quickly.
It really stinks here, it is the farthest point Eastbound, turning from Northeast Prakway into 190,,, and going from 45 to 60 m.p.h. headed westbound,,,, reverse those going Eastbound. The road is pretty much brand new, 3 wide lanes each side – divided major highway stuff here – nice smooth grades, etc,, and with a posted speed limit of 60 it is almost laughable.
