Abilene is Taylor County's principal population, commercial, and transportation center. Its driving environment is shaped by I-20, US 83, US 84, US 277, SH 36, Loop 322, FM 89, FM 1750, FM 3438, frontage roads, railroad crossings, commercial corridors, interstate ramps, and substantial truck traffic.
For beginning drivers, Abilene's strongest local lesson is learning how to transition safely among city streets, multilane highways, frontage roads, and interstate traffic.
