fuck the metric system

Route 1 between Charlestown and Saugus. No run off lanes, traffic doing 70 mph, cars merging into traffic from 0 mph with no on-ramp or merging lane, shitty restaurants, no cultural merit, crazy light patterns, all terminating in a terrible bridge.

It used to be worse when I was younger, especially in Chelsea, but it still sucks.

90/94/290 and LSD in Chicago.

One of the worst examples of unintended consequences of the freeway revolt (see also I-710 in Pasadena). The system was designed to function as a whole. Instead, by only building out 3/4 of it and then giving up before building a ring interstate, you've got an inefficient system where for millions of people trying to move around the city the only way to do so is to go all the way downtown. It's the same issue for freight as well. And now the city can't even cut back on LSD because it's become so necessary owing to the lack of the planned Crosstown connector.

I'm more often in us22 or i80 territory, but turnpike costs money. other roads don't. simple as. I reckon most of the hate comes from sepa people generally complaining about a suburban highway of a major city having traffic.

I've been to Breezewood and it's great. I've eaten at that McDonalds.
It's a 1/2 sq mile anomaly though that only exists for weird historical local political reasons (having to do with the PA Turnpike junction with I-70). Just outside of frame in that photo is hundreds of miles of trees, fields, and mountains.

The Eastern end near Philly is dangerous. Also known as the Surekill Distressway.

LA is worse but people in LA know how to drive on highways. Not so much in podunk PA

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuylkill_Expressway
>>
>>2011795
Ah I see. I thought OP pic was referring to some part of the PA Turnpike. The Schuylkill Expressway segment of I-76 branches off and isn't tolled. But yeah, I've been on it before, I grew up near there (Berks County), it's fucking nuts. Kind of similar to the I-83 Jones Falls Expressway in Baltimore, but even worse.
>>
>>2011516
Bro I drive 5 minutes or less from my house in any direction and this is what you get, and this is in one of the richest states in the nation. In the dense northeast neighboring a major city. The amount of cope and seethe this picture provokes from people is quite telling.
>>
>>2011516
the most interesting part of this viral picture is that half of the businesses in it are closed. The gas station, the diner, the motel off screen have been demolished, etc. The picture is supposed to be this indictment of American suburban capitalism but the current situation is even an even greater indictment.
>>
>>2011814
>half of the businesses in it are [now] closed.
I think that's more a result of air travel becoming cheaper and more of a first-choice for traveling. The truck stops in Breezewood are still going strong because truck traffic hasn't decreased (has probably increased), but all of the businesses catering to regular people on road trips have struggled.

I-80/94 in northwest indiana and southern chicagoland
80 splits back off when 294 starts, but this whole stretch is like a lawless wasteland of interstate infrastructure, at one point around the 394 and 294 connector this hits 6 lanes per side, 12 total?
theres no cops, nobody follows any kind of road regulations, i dont think ive ever been on it when it wasnt at a standstill
the way off to 80 westbound is 3 lanes over from the primary 4 when it starts, so youre battling everyone else to get to the right
and then the same from 80 eastbound onto 80/94 where 294 merges in, 294 has priority so if youre coming from 80 youre starting 3 rapidly ending lanes deep and need to merge left to get to the primary 4 lanes
its just really bad design
>>
>>2011079
yeah unironically it feels like if they made a hotwheels toy track into a real road
>>
>>2011811
Just because someone disagrees with you isn't "cope and seethe". The usual way is this works is someone says something out of the urbanist playbook like "suburbs are a net loss for the city", someone else says that's incorrect, and then it's "REEE COPE AND SEETHE RAGIE CAGIE" or something like that.

Once you get outh of marche region going south, the road first reduces to 2 lanes for side, than due to infinite works closing lanes on the bridges and tunnels becomes even worse.

Yes Quiznos is long gone but the whole chain went out of business, the diner closed, so did the two Exxons. But a Sheetz is there now and a Starbucks and a bunch of motels are still there even if they changed names. The Petro truck stop is a Flying J in the latest Google images. Churn like that is normal, the original pic is at least 20 years old iirc

US route 278 in Pauling county GA, going from west to east, its a simple 2 lane highway, connecting Rockmart and Dallas, theres nothing much to see here, just trees, which can be a nice drive. Once US278 is in either city, there are some traffic lights, but nothing major. But the instant US278 enters Hiram, GA, it is the mother of all stroads.
I fucking hate when I have to drive on this 2 mile stretch, it always adds, at minimum, 10 minutes to get to my destination. I understand that there has to be an intersection here or there, but 11 FUCKING INTERSECTION IN 3 MILES IS LUDICUROUIS. I like to drive away from the city at night to see the stars, and having to wait until I get onto the open road because one city wants it's passerby's to stop and soulless chain stores for tax dollars pisses me off.

The M42/A42 between the M6 and M1, for being thoroughly inadequate. Also tends to have awkward weather. Driving at 80 in a sudden snowstorm isn't fun.
