I'm from dallas, and this is the most genius hit ever, ESPECIALLY when you recognize that texas REALLY IS massive, and for this reason, for example, everyone builds OUTWARD instead of UPWARD because land is cheap and plentiful

my point however is that, highways designed like this reduce travel times by an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE

my dad lived about 45 minutes north of me while i still lived on the south side of dallas

but this 45 minutes of travel between my own home and my dad's; about
>30 minutes
of that travel time was exlusively on the highway

and the highway in that part of the US is basically like a raging torrent of traffic

SIX LANES on EACH SIDE of the highway

and the speed limit is like fucking 70-80 MPH

so for an entire
>30 minutes
im blasting north up the highway, practically holding the pedal to the metal, completely surrounded by other drivers doing the same

and sure it would be crowded at times, but i don't recall often getting stuck in "bumper to bumper" traffic at a stand still - BECAUSE of infrastructure like this
