Where it runs
SH-114 comes in from the northwest near Texas Motor Speedway, crosses I-35W, and runs through Roanoke, Westlake and Southlake to Grapevine, where it pairs with SH-121 along the north edge of DFW Airport. East of the airport it becomes the John W. Carpenter Freeway through Las Colinas in Irving and ends at SH-183 in Dallas.
Where cars get stuck
Through Grapevine, the DFW Connector bundles SH-114, SH-121, TEXpress lanes and airport ramps into a tangle where many drivers are hunting for the right exit. In Irving, TEXpress lanes run beside the main lanes, and on race weekends the west end near the speedway fills with traffic controls and contraflow lanes.
If you stop here
- If you can still drive, take the next exit; in the DFW Connector, follow signs to a frontage road instead of stopping between ramps.
- If you must stop on the main lanes, hazards on and onto the right shoulder.
- Stay belted in with the doors locked; airport traffic here moves at full speed.
- Don't stand between the car and traffic.
- Tell dispatch eastbound or westbound, and whether you're near the airport, Las Colinas or Southlake.
What we fix on the shoulder
Service prices; one dispatch fee is added per job.

Questions
01Is the John Carpenter Freeway the same as SH-114?
Yes, that's the name for SH-114 east of DFW Airport through Irving into Dallas. Tell us whether you're closer to Las Colinas or to the Dallas end near Loop 12.
02I broke down on SH-114 by the airport's north entrance. Where should I wait?
If the car still rolls, get onto a frontage road or into a lot outside the airport, then call. If it's stopped on the main lanes, stay in the car with hazards on and tell dispatch your direction and the last sign you passed.
