Traveling throughout Texas for a long time, I came up with a few ideas I thought could improve Texas transportation. Although I wouldn't have the funds to carry out these ideas, I figure it would be a lot of fun to share these ideas on my blog. Bellow are my ideas to improve or add to Texas transportation:
The Texas Autobahn Circuit (TAC)
I had an idea for a Texas Autobahn idea where any person could drive on the official Texas Autobahn road without a speed limit. The road consists of three to four lanes in-bound and out-bound. The far left lanes are reserved for the most slow vehicles while the rest of the lanes are reserved for faster speeds. The slowest the Texas Autobahn should allow is 65 miles an hour on the far left lane. The road should exclude large cargo vehicles and vehicles who cannot prove to be fit to meet the expected high speeds on the road. The road is meant for individuals who accept taking their life into their own hands when they drive on these roads. The road starts in a circuit with Dallas-Fort Worth, to Waco, to Houston, to San Antonio, to Austin, to San Angelo, and to Abilene. Then from Abilene there is two circuits with one circuit to Amarillo to Wichita Falls, and back to Fort Worth/ Dallas. The second circuit is from Abilene back to Fort Worth/ Dallas and back to the declared start of the Texas Autobahn Circuit. The road has four exist: from Houston to Galveston; from Houston to Beaumont; from Fort Worth/ Dallas to Texarkana; from Wichita Falls to Oklahoma; and from Amarillo to New Mexico. I had the idea to add one more circuit, but I realized it wouldn't be seen as an effective idea. This idea was having a third circuit from Abilene to El Paso and from El Paso to Del Rio, and back to San Antonio. This would create an additional exit from El Paso to New Mexico. Overall, I feel like having a Texas Autobahn would be extremely beneficial for individuals who want to get to places fast, have a need to race or a need for speed using fast vehicles, or for individuals with light cargo needing to make deliveries quickly.
The Texas Crystal Lane
My next idea is called the Texas Crystal Lane. This essentially is a free-to-use diamond lane on Texas highways without a speed limit for responsible and self-liable drivers. Depending on the time of day, it can be inbound or outbound. It can also be a circuit in a city with only one entrance and one exit. This can provide with options for Texas drivers to get to their destinations faster while accepting all the responsibilities and risks on their own behalf.
The Texas Bullet Train Project (aka The Texas High Speed Rail Project)
The Texas Bullet Train Project is about a high speed bullet train rail line that starts in Houston, goes to Galveston, then to San Antonio, next to Austin, then continues to Fort Worth Dallas, and finally back to Houston. The high speed rail runs on a linear circuit which I call the pinched rubber-band track. This track is like taking a regular rubber-band in the shape of a circle and pinching it together with your fingers to form a pinched circuit. While pinching the rubber-band, if forms a line with both sides of the rubber-band close together. At the ends is a wide circle where the rubber-band is not pinched. The circle at the ends of the rubber-band allows the train to circle back around and continue the next side of the circuit. Essentially there can be multiple bullet trains that pass each other as each train completes a single circuit. It's important that the bullet train is suspended from the ground as Texas has a lot of woodlands animals and natural disaster hazards like floods that can interfere with the circuit. The high speed rail can be monitored by connection-device-monitor-sensors to ensure tracks are working, intact at all times, and the high speed rail is working as intended. High speed rail trains can be made and bought from Japan and imported or made with Texas engineering pride. On the trains, individuals can enjoy a luxurious experience while taking in the amazing Texas landscape and vast gulf of Mexico. The train can feature a variety of sections or caboose-booths. Unlike traditional trains with seats, a high speed rail train can feature seated areas as well as resting areas where passengers can lay down. I love the idea to have a lifestyle travel area where individuals can rent and live on the train for a few days as if it was a traveling Air BNB. Another idea for a section could be a gaming area for passengers to play games followed by perhaps another area where passengers can shop in micro-booths or relax in a chill-lounge area made for socializing. Overall, the Texas high speed rail can allow Texans to travel about Texas more quickly, safely, and even luxuriously. It can provide with unique experiences unlike anyone has ever experienced before which will be sure to leave long lasting memories and impressions.
