When they were first putting the first part of 161 / gwb tollway in north dallas (well, las colinas) I was one of the first people to drive on it the day it opened. Thought to myself "jfc that's a lot of lanes". That was half the lanes they ended up putting in, and, it's damn near capacity daily already lol.

So glad I moved away from Texas, it's like road construction is the dominant species there and humans just happen to live nearby.
