Ease of Re-entry & Traffic Flow
Re-entry Score: 8/10. The frontage roads are well-paved, and the turnarounds under the overpasses are standard width.
Traffic Flow: The local landmark Victoria Park and the surrounding residential communities mean passenger vehicle traffic is high during the 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM window. The flow is generally lighter than the main Weslaco exits.
Turning Radius Alert: The intersection of Victoria Road and the Westbound frontage road is wide, but watch for tight curbs when turning North into the residential sectors.
