- Loop 410 — inner beltway (~10-mile radius from downtown)
- Loop 1604 — outer beltway (~15-20-mile radius from downtown)
For SAT access, Loop 410 is faster during rush hour for eastern/western suburbs. Loop 1604 + US-281 south serves far north suburbs (Stone Oak, Bulverde). The I-35 / Loop 410 interchange is one of the most-congested segments in Texas.
