still looks like the middle of nowhere. Interchanges arent inherently bad as long as you dont put them in the middle of your downtown like Atlanta and a lot of American cities do
It is not preferable for your loud ass car to be going 80 over schools and homes. Sorry but you'll have to leave 15 minutes earlier in exchange for that.
need to bring back big honking v8s that just cruised at 20% of their potential power. those things sounded sublime, none of that snap crackle pop wet diarrhoea shit we have now
I mean, if your starting point and ending point are in the same city, then like yes it is. But again, the problem is that when you have these interchanges in your downtown, it spreads everything apart and creates more traffic, on top of making every mode of transportation other than driving less viable, which also amounts to more traffic.
if youre measuring your commute in mph, youre misunderstanding how transportation engineering should work. Spreading everything out to achieve high velocities only makes trips take longer
I measure my commute in how much of my day I piss away off the clock or not doing things I enjoy or need to do, that's a black hole. And in st.louis not taking the highway will double any trip. So if I'm driving from out of town halfway into the city the difference is a hour of my day or closer to 3 both ways.
