    "Traffic is horrible. Too many people and not enough ways out of town. Lights need to be longer and tickets need to be given for those who run red lights and don’t follow turn only lanes especially up by Snuffers trying to get on the highway to go west."

    "Normal. Usually busy on weekends beginning on Friday’s at noon. The interstate that runs through the community is increasingly busier each year. However! TxDoT is adding additional lanes in both directions that should alleviate the congestion."

    "anything at RGAC pool and golf club is fun and super convenient. They do a good job of mixing up the events offered for kids/families/couples/ladies/men, so you can sort of find your tribe within your neighborhood. Worship at Lake Pointe Church in Sunday’s is a great way to connect with wonderful, loving, genuine, family-friendly people too. "
