Houston Metro Hub

Houston, America's fourth-largest city, presents unique driving challenges with its massive freeway system spanning over 600 miles of highways. The notorious I-610 Loop, I-45, US-59/I-69, and the Grand Parkway create a complex network that intimidates many new drivers. Houston's lack of zoning means diverse road conditions from downtown's one-way streets to suburban sprawl.

Driving schools in Houston emphasize highway driving skills essential for the region, including high-speed merges, managing feeder roads (service roads), and navigating the frequent flooding conditions during storm season. Many schools offer specialized training for Houston's infamous traffic, which ranks among the worst in the nation.

With major DPS offices in Rosenberg, Gessner, and Spring, Houston-area students have multiple options for road testing. The diverse population means many schools offer instruction in Spanish, Vietnamese, and Mandarin.
