What is a Farm-to-Market Road?
The system of Texas Farm-to-Market Roads was created to provide access to the rural areas of the state. This secondary highway network is mostly two-lane roads. The name is derived from the intended use of the roads: farmers bringing their goods to market in the cities. What is a Ranch-to-Market Road? The name “Farm-to-Market Road” did not fit well to parts of central and west Texas. In those areas, ranches outnumber farms. Therefore, the name used for the secondary highways is “Ranch-to-Market Road”. What is an Urban Road?

As a result, there was a mismatch in the funding programs. Although funds for FM & RM roads were supposed to benefit rural areas, the funds were needed for improvements in urban areas. It
