Post your most hated roads
The Coquihalla. Highway Thru Hell wouldn't be a show without it
>>2010812I80>2 lanes 90% of the interstate>heavy truck traffic>seriously fuck semis with governors, they'll ride side by side for 20 miles at 60 because the company doesn't trust low iq fleet drivers to open up at all even when you can legally hit 80>nothing to see until you reach cheyenne>west side is cozy but pretty barren unlike I70-I15
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.
>>2011000Why is that sign in metric? It's a better system nevertheless but I'm curious why

>>2011000>this shatters the amerishart "brain"
I need not elaborate
>>2010812I kind of like the random tunnels on the PA turnpike. The only real terrible bit is the part heading in and outside of philly
Any road in Maryland. Marylanons cannot drive for shit. Whenever I go through there I experience true fear.
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.
>>2010812The A34, there's always an accident and traffic.
>>2010812What's wrong with the PA Turnpike?>>2011066Have you visited the abandoned tunnels?
>>2011114>Have you visited the abandoned tunnels?Yeah, a few times. Pretty neat.>What's wrong with the PA Turnpike?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.
>>2011000So which interstate is this in freedom units?
That one highway in Mississippi that has fucking stop lights every half mile
This shit
>>2011479I'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.
>>2011479I like that picture.>deep saturated colors>taken right around the economic crash of 2008 and a good reminder of the world that was>good angle>filters retards who try to pass off what is a truck stop exit as "ThIs wHaT aN aMeRiCaN sUbUrB lOoKs LiKe", such retards can be safely ignored
>>2011479I like that picture.>blue touhou>taken right around the shrine maiden crash>good angle on the hat>filters retards who dont like corndogs
>>2011114>What's wrong with the PA Turnpike?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 PAhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuylkill_Expressway
>>2011795Ah 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.
>>2011516Bro 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.
>>2011516the 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.
>>2011814>the picture is supposed to be this indictment of American suburban capitalism but the current situation is even an even greater indictment.you melodramatic faggots are annoying
>>2011824I have stayed at that Days Inn and been to that Sheetz
I-80/94 in northwest indiana and southern chicagoland80 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 standstillthe 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 rightand 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 lanesits just really bad design
>>2011079yeah unironically it feels like if they made a hotwheels toy track into a real road
>>2011811Just 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.
>>2010812Old Pac (A1)
>>2011065Shut up, in that fake country highways are free unlike the rest of europe
A14.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.
>>2011814>the most interesting part of this viral picture is that half of the businesses in it are closedYes 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
>>2010812The one across Tennessee and Connecticut, and L.A. to El Paso.
>>2011327What kind of retarded fucking question is that?
>>2010812The German A31. It is 200km or ca 125 miles of pure nothing, basically a light version of driving from Kansas City to Denver
>>2010812M62. How the hell do you have heavy traffic in the middle of the fucking night?!
I'm in san diego county so I get a great selection of fucked up roads>the 5/163 merge with 5 lanes merging into one>163 south coming down into fashion valley and knowing at least 4 cars are gonna try to merge into my passenger door>the fucking 94>any section of the 5 between la jolla and the nuclear titties with the 78 junction being an extra swift kick in the dick>the fucking 78
>>2011516>90s brown taco bell signi bet it has the mission-style roofing and arched windows, too. fucking kino
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.
>>2011919I love sheetz so much it's unreal
>>2013894im going to cum in ur asshole anon
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.
>no HSR between Philly and PittsburghAmerica has fallen
