Palms, birding country, international shopping, and fast-moving Valley growth connect McAllen with a string of nearby Hidalgo County cities. Pharr is the only route in this twelve-card Hidalgo County cluster that publishes a detailed current DSC workflow. In TxDOT’s 2024 city crash table, McAllen recorded 2,853 crashes, including 6 fatal crashes and 55 suspected-serious-injury crashes.
