Traffic Information

Driving in Dallas can be a challenge so we recommend to make use of a GPS and traffic apps on your smart phone to stay up to date about congestion. The Mixmaster is particularly tricky as you need to be aware of which lane will allow you to exit towards your desired destination. In general, traffic tends to be worse mornings heading into the city and away from the city centers in the evening. Plan your route ahead of time to make sure you know how to or can pay for any electronic toll roads you may encounter along your route.

Dallas has created a business-friendly environment and is home around 18 Fortune 500 companies plus to a vibrant entrepreneurial community.
