On my trip to pickup the new fleabag I traveled some roads that I’d not traveled before. If you’ve never gotten off the interstate in East Texas, you need to be prepared to make a lot of turns. There just doesn’t seem to be straight roads anywhere. And, you might want to keep your eyes on traffic signs. The routes are posted, but the signs indicating a road or condition are usually at the exact spot - not a foot before. However, they have taken measures to get your attention.
On this particular drive I encountered speed signs with a red border. In Texas, speed limit signs usually are white and maybe a black border. Not in East Texas. And, then there was the yellow diamond shaped sign that proclaimed an intersection ahead. Instead of a black border, it had little flashing lights - like a Christmas tree.
If you ever get bored driving, just try a trip off the beaten path in East Texas.
