Houston Auto Insurance (TX)

Houston is one of the newest and most rapidly growing cities in the country and was voted the most popular cities to relocate to. Houston boasts a population of more than two million, yet to date, still has no zoning laws (it is the largest city without zoning laws in the U.S.). Houston has grown with such speed that traffic congestion has become a problem. The city of Houston is ranked fifth in highway congestion in the United States. Out of the five most dangerous intersections in the state of Texas, Houston’s intersection at State Highway 6 and Westheimer Road is ranked number three. To avoid further traffic congestion, it would be wise to avoid this intersection when possible.

The rapidly multiplying population accrues 123,547 hours of traffic delay annually. When calculated per person, each driver in Houston endures 33 hours of gridlock per year. Traffic congestion costs the city more than two million dollars yearly.

In the state of Texas, the most commonly stolen vehicle is the full-size Chevrolet C/K Pickup. The second highest ranking stolen vehicle is the Ford Full-size Pickup, followed by the Honda Accord. In addition to purchasing insurance, you may protect your investment by purchasing anti-theft devices.
