Crosstown Traffic: Driving Waco's 18th Street Corridor

Most people only see Waco at 75 miles an hour.

From Interstate 35, it’s a place you pass through on the way to somewhere else—Baylor’s campus, a few landmarks in the distance, gas stations and frontage roads blurring together before you move on.

This episode takes a different route.

Instead of the highway, we follow the 18th Street corridor—moving laterally across Waco, block by block. Neighborhoods shift without warning. Lanes narrow and widen. Signs pile up. Meanings drift. Nothing quite lines up the way it does at highway speed.

This isn’t a tour.

It’s just a different way across town.

And it turns out how you move through Waco changes what it looks like.
