Texas Recreational Road 8
Recreational Road 8 (RE 8) is a Recreational Road located in McMullen County in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Texas. The highway is approximately in length, and connects Texas State Highway 72 (TX 72) to the community of Calliham and Choke Canyon State Park. The roadway travels through rural areas and central Calliham. Calliham was first laid out in 1922, and a road first appeared in the location of RE 8 by 1940. Farm to Market Road 99 (FM 99) was designated in the location of RE 8 in 1954. Recreational Road 8 was officially designated in June of 1981, after FM 99 was relocated. The highway was cancelled and relocated in 1983. The highway is currently the only route to deviate from the recreational road criteria.
==Route description==
RE 8 begins at an at-grade intersection with TX 72 south of the unincorporated community of Calliham. The highway proceeds as a two-lane, paved road, traveling northward toward Calliham. As it travels through mainly rural areas, the route intersects a small dirt road before entering the southern portion of Calliham. The road intersects Fletcher Street and continues past several houses, traveling parallel to Naylor Street for a short distance before it intersects Ritcher Street, where it bends northeastward and continues. The road passes a large RV park and intersects Deer Trail before continuing past several houses. It proceeds to its northern terminus, an intersection with Quail Run Road at the edge of Choke Canyon State Park. A long park road continues north into the park, providing access to several campgrounds and recreational areas.
The highway is maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Part of the job of the TxDOT is to measure traffic along the highway. These counts are taken using a metric called annual average daily traffic (AADT). This is a statistical calculation of the average daily number of vehicles that travel along a portion of the highway. The TxDOT usually measures AADT near an intersection. In 2011, the highway's AADT was 530 vehicles, taken at a point just north of the intersection with TX 72. This was an increase from the previous year, when the count was just 330 vehicles, which was taken at the same point. This was a decrease from 2009, when the AADT for the route was 390 vehicles. No portion of the roadway is listed on the National Highway System, a network of roads important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility. RE 8 is currently the only route in the Recreational Road system to deviate from the system criteria. The TxDOT defines a Recreatonal Road as a route which travels "to a recognized recreational area", while RE 8 serves Choke Canyon State Park.
