Important roads include:

• I-20
• US 180
• SH 171/FM 51
• FM 920
• FM 1884
• FM 2552
• Local commercial streets

Parker County's population growth makes changing traffic conditions a major local issue.

Students should expect:

• New subdivisions
• Added commercial entrances
• More commuter traffic
• Construction vehicles
• New signals
• Added turn lanes
• Longer queues near I-20

I-20 is the county's defining transportation corridor.

The Parker County source identifies approximately:

• 33 miles of I-20 in the county
• 20 interchanges
• 57 bridges
• Roughly 47,838 vehicles per day on average
• Approximately 29% truck traffic

For students, that makes freight awareness especially important.

Students should watch for:

• Vehicles exiting I-20
• Vehicles entering I-20
• Commercial entrances
• U-turn movements
• Traffic signals
• Vehicles crossing several lanes near ramps

When ready for I-20:

1. Use the acceleration lane.
2. Build speed.
3. Check mirrors.
4. Check the blind spot.
5. Identify a safe gap.
6. Merge predictably.

Students should:

• Leave more following distance
• Avoid blind spots
• Expect longer stopping distances
• Signal early before slowing
• Avoid cutting closely in front

US 180 is Weatherford's principal east-west surface highway.

The source identifies a programmed project from west of Spur 312 to east of Elm Street that would:

• Reconstruct concrete lanes
• Add a bicycle lane
• Upgrade ADA accessibility

with construction anticipated to begin in 2027 and finish around 2029.

Students should practice:

• Multilane traffic
• Commercial entrances
• Signals
• Pedestrian awareness
• Lane selection
• Truck spacing

The source identifies a future project from FM 2552 to Bankhead Highway that would construct new frontage roads.

The project currently falls in an FY 2030-2035 letting range.

The source identifies a proposed widening south of Weatherford from SH 171 toward the I-20 area.

The proposal includes:

• Four lanes
• Curbed median
• Sidewalks
• Shared-use paths
• Intersection realignment
• U-turn lanes
• Signals near I-20

This remains proposed project material.

Historical DPS records confirm Weatherford as a Driver License Office location.

However, the current facilities report identifies:

207 Fort Worth Highway Weatherford, TX

as the Weatherford Fort Worth Area Office, not specifically as a Driver License Office.

Use the Texas DPS appointment scheduler to confirm:

• Current Driver License Office address
• Learner-license services
• First-time license services
• Knowledge testing
• Road-test availability
• Current hours

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

1112 Santa Fe Drive Weatherford, TX 76086

Do not send a learner-license applicant there for DPS licensing services.
