Learning to drive in Barstow
Barstow supports a strong standalone page for its size because it has one of Ward County’s most specific road projects. TxDOT is planning reconstruction and widening along approximately 7.7 miles of FM 516 in the Barstow area.
Eligible students use one Texas driver education pathway:
- Parent-Taught Driver Education
- Teen Driver Education, Block Method
- Texas 6-Hour Adult Driver Education.
FM 516
TxDOT’s Ward County schematic identifies a 7.67-mile FM 516 project with rural and urban portions. The preliminary design calls for 12-foot travel lanes and roadway reconstruction through the corridor.
For beginning drivers, FM 516 provides practice with:
- Rural highway speeds
- Construction zones
- Shoulder changes
- Heavy vehicles
- Temporary markings
- Rural intersections
- Dust and reduced visibility
Construction-Zone Driving
Students should follow current:
- Work-zone speed limits
- Temporary signs
- Lane markings
- Flaggers
- Traffic-control devices
A familiar road can operate differently during construction.
Permian Basin Traffic
Barstow-area students may encounter:
- Oilfield service trucks
- Equipment trailers
- Commercial vehicles
- Pickup trucks entering industrial roads
- Slow-moving work vehicles
Maintain extra following distance and avoid truck blind spots.
Rural Night Driving
Outside the community, lighting becomes limited quickly.
Students should practice:
- Correct headlight use
- Longer following distance
- Early recognition of intersections
- Wildlife scanning
- Speed control
