Farm to Market Road 734 (FM 734) is a Шаблон:Convert farm-to-market road in Travis and Williamson counties in the U.S. state of Texas. It is the state-maintained portion of Parmer Lane, a major arterial road in the region. Most of the route's length is located just within the northern city limits of Austin, with portions located in Cedar Park, Leander, and unincorporated areas.

Route description

The southern terminus of FM 734 is at US 290, just west of Manor in Travis County. It travels northwest to intersect with Interstate 35 (I-35). It continues to Loop 1 and crosses SH 45 and RM 620 in northwest Austin before reaching its northern terminus at RM 1431 in Cedar Park. The roadway continues beyond RM 1431 as Ronald W. Reagan Boulevard, which travels northward into Leander before curving eastward back to I-35 within the southern city limits of Jarrell.

For most of its length, FM 734 is a six-lane divided roadway. West of Loop 1, the road has wide shoulders and is relatively lightly developed, making it attractive as a bicycling route. However, FM 734 does carry a high traffic load during rush hours, especially at Loop 1 and I-35.Шаблон:Citation needed FM 734 is primarily a four-lane road between US 290 and Yager Lane, east of I-35.

On June 27, 1995, FM 734 was redesignated Urban Road 734 (UR 734). The designation reverted to FM 734 with the elimination of the Urban Road system on November 15, 2018.

Except for the section between Loop 1 and I-35, Parmer Lane is designated a scenic roadway by the City of Austin.
