@mellieonair: North Street in Nacogdoches has been the talk of the town after TXDot repaved the road. Now, city officials and residence are speaking out about this “optical illusion.” https://www.ktre.com/2026/08/03/nacogdoches-drivers-say-north-street-turning-lane-feels-dangerously-narrow-after-txdot-repaving/ #nacogdoches #nacogdochestx #sfa #sfasu #reporter
It needs to be fixed it. The lanes are too narrow, and the ditches leading into businesses are too deep and steep.

He's full of BS. It's literally way skinnier than it used to be. They needa just come out and measure the lane themselves

The turning lane is small! Big ass small! These lanes are already too much and that lane is made for tiny cars! North street is insane especially during college season. Thank god some of us know back streets

the area by Walmart is much wider than going towards downtown. They are more narrow the further down you get by SFA.

It’s more narrow, Helen Keller could see that. But let’s talk about how you need a lifted 4x4 truck to get into the entrance of any driveway from north street. I literally watched a Chick-fil-A delivery car get on 3 wheels while pulling into the parking lot of Chick-fil-A because of how ridiculous the entrances are coming off north street. Oldest town in Texas and still can’t get a road done right. 😒🍻

u have the extra "inches* to the far outside lanes. the middle lane is way smaller now then what is what before yall touched it. we drive this road everyday we know there is a difference u cant tell us that yall did it right. YALL DID NOT DO IT RIGHT. u come drive it in yalls big trucks. get in that middle lane see if u feel like ur mirrors r going to get knocked off. yall did not make our north street safer u made it more dangerous for us especially since the college students r back. make it right and redo it. yall just dont want to loose money.

bluebeachwolf1 :
What?? Someone seriously thought to say that middle lane is NOT smaller? The width of the whole road was never the right size. Before they redid the lanes the driving lanes were barely wide enough. To make up for that they made the driving lanes the right width now and whatever was left became the middle lane. That is why the middle lane is dangerously narrow.
