(Seriously tho those wide urban highways split up a city as much as a river does. It looks like the Hudson in NYC with those massive bridges).
Ever expanding the number of lanes to meet the demands of 10 years prior is the Texan way.
Don’t forget ignoring literal decades of data that show adding lanes doesn’t fix traffic
In a couple decades it’ll be parking lots and highways with no city left.
Kind of is now tbh in Dallas and Houston lol
Look at all those Ps!
Goddamn that's beautiful. I can practically taste the freedom 🥲
I'm too lazy to do that, but maps of Texan cities where their highways were edited to water bodies would really prove this point.
