Learning to drive in Pecos

Pecos is the Reeves County seat and the county's primary transportation and commercial center. Its road environment is shaped by I-20, Business I-20, US 285, SH 17, oilfield trucks, tankers, equipment trailers, frontage roads, construction, and rapidly changing Permian Basin transportation infrastructure.

For beginning drivers, Pecos's strongest local lesson is early decision-making around large commercial vehicles and high-speed corridors.

Driving in Pecos

Important local roads include:

  • I-20
  • Business I-20
  • US 285
  • SH 17
  • FM 1216
  • Industrial and oilfield roads

Primary Local Driving Topic: I-20 Freight Traffic

TxDOT's Reeves County corridor study estimated that trucks account for approximately 61 percent of traffic on the county's I-20 segment.

That makes freight awareness one of the most important local skills for student drivers.

Sharing I-20 With Trucks

Students should:

  • Leave substantial following distance
  • Avoid blind spots
  • Plan lane changes early
  • Avoid cutting closely in front
  • Brake predictably

I-20 Frontage Roads

Students should watch for:

  • Vehicles exiting I-20
  • Vehicles entering I-20
  • Oilfield and industrial entrances
  • Fuel stations
  • Trucks crossing lanes
  • Short-distance lane changes

US 285

US 285 is Reeves County's most important north-south energy corridor.

Students may encounter:

  • Tankers
  • Sand trucks
  • Equipment trailers
  • Heavy pickups
  • Remote intersections
  • Truck queues
  • High-speed industrial traffic

US 285 North Improvements

The source identifies multiple US 285 North projects and long-term widening toward a four-lane divided highway.

US 285 at SH 302 and RM 652

Current planning includes grade-separated concepts at:

  • US 285 and SH 302
  • US 285 and RM 652

Students should approach these high-speed freight intersections conservatively.

Pecos East Relief Route

TxDOT proposes an approximately 10-mile relief route around the east side of Pecos.

The concept includes:

  • Four divided lanes
  • Frontage roads
  • Major interchanges
  • Shared-use paths

The Relief Route Is Not Open

The project remains proposed.

Why the Relief Route Matters

If built, the project could redirect some through-truck traffic away from existing streets.

Until then, students should expect heavy truck interaction on existing Pecos roads.

SH 17

SH 17 connects Pecos south toward Balmorhea and regional I-10 travel.

Students should practice:

  • Rural highway speed control
  • Truck spacing
  • Highway turns
  • City-to-rural transitions

SH 17 at Stafford Boulevard

The source identifies proposed improvements involving:

  • Turn lanes
  • Sidewalks
  • Median changes
  • Pedestrian crossing improvements

Reeves County Regional Mobility Authority Proposal

The source identifies a 2026 public-hearing process regarding formation of a Reeves County Regional Mobility Authority.

Potential projects include:

  • US 285 widening
  • Grade-separated intersections
  • Pecos East Relief Route
  • Truck parking
  • Freight infrastructure

This was planning/governance activity.

Oilfield Truck Awareness

Students should expect:

  • Slow highway entry from heavy vehicles
  • Wide turns
  • Trucks entering from minor roads
  • Gravel or mud near industrial entrances
  • Equipment extending from trailers

Crosswinds and Dust

Students should:

  • Use smooth steering
  • Reduce speed when visibility falls
  • Increase following distance
  • Avoid passing in blowing dust

Extreme Heat

Students should:

  • Check tires
  • Check coolant
  • Keep adequate fuel
  • Carry water on long trips

Pecos DPS Driver License Resources

The Reeves County source does not verify a sufficiently current authoritative Pecos Driver License Office street address.

Do not substitute:

  • County tax office
  • DPS Area Office
  • Highway Patrol facility
  • CDL test site

for the Driver License Office.

Use the live DPS scheduler before visiting.

Reeves County Tax Office Is Different From DPS

The source identifies the Reeves County Tax Assessor-Collector at:

424 S. Cypress Street Pecos, TX 79772

This is not the DPS Driver License Office.
