OKRoads.com -- South Texas Roadtrip -- U.S. 59

U.S. 59 goes from Laredo, Texas, to Lancaster, Minnesota. The highway is signed east-west between Laredo and Beeville, Texas, but otherwise, it it signed north-south. On Day Two of the South Texas Roadtrip, I drove U.S. 59 from Interstate 35 in Laredo to TX 44 East just east of Freer.

	U.S. 59 East begins at Interstate 35. The stoplight is the Interstate 35 North frontage road. This is the only assurance shield on eastbound in Laredo.
	U.S. 59 East at TX Loop 20 on the east side of Laredo. This is the final stoplight until TX 16 in Freer, which is 60 miles down the road.
	The first standalone U.S. 59 shield is this shield east of Laredo. Get used to this landscape - the next town is Freer, which, again, is 60 miles east of Laredo. The speed limit is 70 along U.S. 59.
	U.S. 59 East at FM 2895.
	U.S. 59 East at FM 2050. The Border Patrol station is just past this intersection.
	U.S. 59 East at TX 44 West.
	U.S. 59/TX 44 East at TX 16 in Freer. TX 16 is the longest state highway in Texas, at a length of 541 miles. That is still well short, however, of OK 3, which is about 620 miles.
	U.S. 59/TX 44 East at U.S. 59 East. U.S. 59 turns off the mainline, while TX 44 continues straight ahead and heads toward Alice and Corpus Christi.
