US-75 (Central Expressway) Accidents in Dallas
The Central Expressway is the main commuter route between Dallas and the northern suburbs. High speeds and heavy traffic make it a crash hotspot.
Dallas's Northern Lifeline
US-75 runs from downtown Dallas north through Richardson, Plano, Allen, and McKinney. It carries the bulk of commuter traffic between the northern suburbs and downtown employment centers.
Most Dangerous Sections
1. The High Five (US-75 & I-635)
The infamous five-level interchange. Complex ramp systems and high speeds create frequent crashes.
2. Downtown Dallas Approach
Where 75 meets I-345 and feeds into downtown. Lane reductions and exits create congestion-related crashes.
3. Richardson/Plano Corridor
Heavy corporate traffic (Texas Instruments, AT&T) creates severe rush hour congestion.
4. US-75 & George Bush Turnpike
Major interchange in Plano with high-speed merging and exit confusion.
Why US-75 Is Dangerous
- High speeds: 70 mph limit with many driving faster
- Commuter fatigue: Long daily drives lead to drowsiness and distraction
- Lane changes: HOV lanes and exits require frequent merging
