Take this:
It’s just five exits, why on earth was a regular roundabout not good enough?
Handles like 25x as much traffic
But at what price?
I wonder how long you could drive on this before anyone realised you were just going around in circles?
Weirdly easy to navigate in person. You just go where you want to go.
Being featured on the front page of Wikipedia under “Did You Know?” was definitely worth it
Chongqing engineers: Hold my beer.
Holy shit what a boondoggle
yeh much easier and simpler this way.
Lmao is this real?
I couldn’t possibly see this being a problem. After all, car drivers are always very safe and careful!

Alt text from memory: #4: Boston
Edit: it’s actually Prank #11: Boston. I was close.
All I know is that a simple 4-way stop, with multiple lanes in all directions, has an effort:chaos ratio that is off the charts. No need for multi-million-dollar engineering projects.
Stop signs on a highway are a great way of killing people.
Reminds me how whenever someone makes a realistic Australian city in cities skylines, everyone in the comments roasts them for adding stop signs/signals on highway ramps, which are extremely dangerous and inefficient.
They really do have stop signs/signals on highway ramps in Australia 😭
Wait until they find out about speed bumps, stop lights and cross walks across highways in Brazil.
Yes that’s real, you go from 100kph to 25kph with speed bumps and speed cameras that will absolutely ticket your ass if you’re 1kph over the limit. BR-101 in Paraíba goes through many small towns that do this, it’s great for pedestrians since the highway cuts directly though the heart of these towns but terrifying if drivers don’t pay attention. Also these speed bumps aren’t always clearly marked so rip your suspension at night

Sorry I placed that oddly, I meant the constant crosswalks are great, not the highways.
A lot of the best Dashcam Owners of Australia videos involve t-bones. Ouch.
I never noticed, if you make the rotary supercollider with two way streets, it works!
Middle one is the new Providence viaduct change my mind.
