I like roads, I like trips, I like looking out the window and I am fasinated by the engineering of it all. This is why I wanted to become an Architect in the first lace: to become a urban designer!!!

So I read this story about how Texas is building this big super highway that is almost a quarter mile wide... width people! that is how wide it is.
Persoanally, I hope they actually don't have a 10 lane highway for it will cause accident to have 10 lanes to switch from. 2 lane highways might be annoying but they actually are faster because there is only 2 ways to go, slow lane or fast lane. 3 lane highways is a berret function of 2 lane but the accidents go up a little and so does traffic jams. 3 is the best of all worlds thoru because you have your off ramp and the other 2 lanes are for the fast lanes.
Anybody use the NJ Turnpike? There is a part that is real wide, but they seperated it into parts. I think 3 lanes on the inner part and 5 on the outer. I think that is a good idea. you get the 3 lane goodies and the 5 lane works when you just really need to hold more traffic (but not so much for speed)
So this 10 lane highway will get a train line too. I would put that in the middle so all the car drivers can see the train passing them.
