Is it easy to get around Katy during the day or is traffic really bad?|144722

I_m a stay at home mom and want to be able to get out often with my son. I don_t want to fight traffic to just get something to eat or go to the mall. How is Katy and traffic within Katy itself?

It really depends on what part of Katy you are referring to and what time of day, as far as traffic goes.

The Major roads - Fry and Mason - can get pretty congested during the peak driving times (before 8:30 am and after 4:30pm) on the weekdays. They can also be pretty congested during the afternoon hours on the weekends.

Katy proper, usually doesn_t have many issues with bad traffic.

As long as you avoid the above mentioned areas during the peak driving times, you shouldn_t have too much trouble getting around.

Traffic in and around Katy is no problem. It_s when you have you come into Houston that_s the problem. They are currently working on I-10 (runs parallel to Old Katy Road), last weekend they completely closed the road from Diary Ashford to Park Ten from Friday night late until 5:00AM Monday morning.

katy itself is no issue, it is just so stinkin far down I-10. if you don_t live that direction, it is the traffic on I-10 that will get you. from 630-9 and 3-7 or 8, bad traffic. you have a small time frame to get out there and do something during the week.

fry road can get hairy during rush hour and during saturdays and sundays but that_s about it.
