  • Watch out for the APD--the Addison Po Po. Although I haven't been pulled over by them (to date), I do know they don't play.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Water drainways are located where on Beltline?
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Ugh! When it rains it pours, and there's isn't a much worse place to drive than that stretch of Belt Line located in Addison (well, actually the stretch of Belt Line in Carrollton is also pretty bad).

    Warnings Or Dangers: Horrible Rainy Weather Driving Conditions
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • As nice and beautiful as the Town of Addison may be it cannot make up for the horrendous driving conditions during moderate or heavy rain showers. Someone forgot to build additional drainage ditches along the portion of Belt Line Rd. (west of the Dallas Tollway) in Addison and the neighboring city Carrollton. The result is standing water that takes a long time to run off the road.

    On top of that, the portion of Belt Line Rd. in Addison contains grooves which were suppose to help your tires "grip" the road a little better. Unfortunately, it seems have had the opposite effect, making the road more dangerous.

    I would honestly recommend you do not drive on this portion of Belt Line Rd. during moderate or heavy showers.

    Warnings Or Dangers: Valet Parking--only on the weekends?
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Almost all Addison restaurants have a habit of charging for valet parking on Fridays and Saturdays. A huge majority of those same restaurants have free parking during the week.

     Me & 5 friends shared sushi and got violently ill later that evening. One girl even went to the emergency room. There were roaches & rodent droppings in the bathroom.

     Excellent restaurant and nightlife tips. Haha, I was in Addison 2 years ago. I skipped the restaurants although I didn't read your tourist trap tip. I visited Mary Kay Hqts :-)
