'State Highway 114', known as 'Texas 114' or 'SH 114' is a state highway that runs from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex westward across the state to the state border with New Mexico, where it becomes New Mexico State Highway 114, which eventually ends at Elida, New Mexico.
The highway's eastern terminus is at the intersection with SH 183 at Texas Stadium in Irving. It continues northwest as the "John W. Carpenter Freeway" (a name shared with SH 183) along the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, eventually crossing the airport's northern entrance, proceeding west into Grapevine. At Grapevine, it continues northwest through Southlake and Westlake, eventually intersecting Interstate 35W at Texas Motor Speedway. Except for the western end, most of this route is freeway; the SH 114 Business road in the Roanoke area (the original routing of the highway) is named for the late golfer Byron Nelson, who lived in that area.
From there, it continues on a mostly northwesterly course as a rural highway, passing through many towns: Rhome, Boyd and Bridgeport, where it joins U.S. Route 380 through Jacksboro. It continues through rural Texas, passing through Olney, Megargel, Seymour (where it joins U.S. Route 82), Benjamin, Guthrie, Dickens, Crosbyton, Ralls, Lorenzo (where it also joins U.S. Route 62) and Idalou before eventually turning southwest into Lubbock.
In Lubbock, Highway 114 follows Idalou Road where it separates from U.S. 82, then bears west along 19th Street, eventually forming the southern boundary of Texas Tech University, where it then separates from U.S. 62. It passes SL 289 and exits Lubbock continuing towards the west along 19th Street and then Levelland Highway. As it continues west, it passes through Smyer, Levelland, Whiteface and Morton before crossing into New Mexico.
The route was originally planned by 1933 as connector between Dallas and Bridgeport. By 1939, this section was completed, with an extension northward from Chico to Sunset. This route remained little changed until 1973, when it was extended northward from Sunset to Bowie. Major rerouting was made in 1976, when the route was redirected west over U.S. Route 380, U.S. Route 281, former SH 199, and U.S. Route 82 from Bridgeport to Lubbock, with the stretch from Bridgeport to Bowie transferred to SH 101. In 1977, the route was extended to the New Mexico border, connecting to it sister New Mexico State Highway 114, replacing State Highway 116.
The road is probably most dangerous as it makes it way through Wise County which is the home of a multitude of "rock crushers." The aggregate and limestone produced by those quarries are mostly transferred to the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex by 18 wheel tractor trailer rigs. Those vehicles have been involved in numerous accidents over the years and, in turn, have given rise to much civil litigation in the courthouse in Decatur which is known to be sensitive to claims by Plaintiffs.

Complaints
The road is probably most dangerous as it makes it way through Wise County which is the home of a multitude of "rock crushers." The aggregate and limestone produced by those quarries are mostly transferred to the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex by 18 wheel tractor trailer rigs.
