Best of Flower Mound #1: Traffic

I guess it's hard to relate the words "best of Flower Mound" and "traffic" in the same sentence, but I'll tell you what works here. I like the way the roads are laid out. Unlike Lewisville, where the streets are laid out in a grid, Flower Mound is built around a framework of old country roads that were draped across the community in such a way to connect important places together. The Flower Mound map may appear more irregular in the way the city's laid out, but there are better shortcuts to get from point A to point B. Morriss Road, Firewheel Road, even Flower Mound Road (west of FM2499) are good examples of point-to-point roads that take you directly where you want to go, without having to go up-and-over like you would in a grid.
