Tips for driving in Lubbock

You’ll usually encounter less traffic in Lubbock because it’s more spread out than other major metro areas. That said, areas near Texas Tech University can become crowded during the school year, particularly on game days. Parking in the city also tends to be easier, but it’s still a good idea to watch for street parking restrictions and pedestrian traffic near campus.
