Ok, I have gone through the Texas DPS/DOT website and can't find squat on this. I know laws vary by state, but I have a hypothetical question.
I am stuck in about 20 mins worth of traffic to travel a few miles on my way home. This is a 4-lane divided highway (loose term - it has stoplights and a 55 MPH speed limit) with a grassy median and about a 200 yard grassy shoulder which leads up to a private fence made of cheap wire. There's a dirt road that runs all along this fence on the outside of the fence - it's mainly used by construction crews to store equipment and by ATVs on the weekend. There's nothing else out there but fence, grass and brush (ie, no buildings or parking lots).
(You locals might know this area - 1604 N between Culebra and Braun road....if you're ever stuck in traffic there, you KNOW this road I'm talking about and how tempting it is).
Anyways, this dirt road parallels the highway and eventually curves into my development. HYPOTHETICALLY, is traveling on this road to avoid traffic illegal - or only if you get caught? There's zero brush between this road and the highway, so a bright yellow H2 would be very difficult to hide.
Just curious.
Stacy
