Mass. Turnpike slicing through the Fenway/Kenmore area in Boston. Just brutal. Hope they figure out how to build on top of it some day.

I love twisty, winding urban highways like this.
Especially driving on them at night when almost nobody else is around.

All roads are gore. Where is everyone going? Why do they need to go so far away from where they were? Personally I've seen people go on 20+ mile journeys just to get fast food even though they already had food at home. Sometimes they'll drive 30 minutes just to look at some junk at Walmart. They'll get a job in an office that could be done remote, but their boss makes them drive an hour every day.

We have the H3 on Oahu. Perhaps the most expensive highway ever, over a billion dollars. Exempted from all environmental concerns because it was part of the Defense budget. Nobody actually travels to where it goes, the only reason to use it is because a road that would be more direct will have perhaps the worst traffic in the country.

Here's something subtle.
US 71 in Kansas City is built to freeway-grade and is a natural extension of I-49.
However, as it passes through a random neighborhood, it reverts down to city streets for about 2 miles.
It has just TWO level intersections, and they are the most dangerous in the whole region.
This is the result of a "freeway revolt" back in the day, and this was the compromise that was supposed to avoid splitting up the neighborhood. Now we have the worst of both worlds.

Might aswell chime in. In my immediate vincinity everything is fine and great but it's bc I live in the sticks.
If I ever have to go to the next town I am always reminded of human stupidity not knowing bounds. A few examples:
They have a central station. In front of the station the city chose to mark the road in a different color. Like a pedestrian crossing but solid white and without the traffic signs. The law says the sign is what makes a pedestrian crossing. This arrangement incites some pedestrians to just step in the road and also some cagers to brake. It leads to all the situations you'd expect: Cagers assuming it's a crossing and thus stopping while pedestrians who understand it is not stop too aswell as pedestrians stepping in the road promting cagers to e-brake.
Next one: They have a roundabout where one exit has a seperate exit for the bicycle lane. The cager exit is single lane. But: Immediately following the exit another lane, priority bus lane is introduced. The bicycle lane merges into the bus lane. The bus takes the cager exit and then moves over into the bus line. So the bus has trouble moving over since there is bicycle traffic on the right. (Did I mention bicycle lanes suck/and are a cager conspiracy?) Next there is a light. The bus only lane ends at the light. So the bus only lane is 100m perhaps. Wow. 50m after the light there is an intersection where it's popular for the cagers to turn right. You know what happens:
You're waiting at the line on your bicycle, looking to go straight, and on, our left theres a cager wanting to turn right. The light changes, the cager compulsory tries to merge infront of you because cagebrain. Hence the cager floors it. As a result the cager following them does so too because cagebrain. The cager then either just runs you over intentionally when running out of space, or slams the brakes to finally wait for there to be space to move over and then turn. They will then either almost get rear ended or the (...)

Look at this beauty, a highway that goes under roads that go under roads that go under rail. I almost creamed my pants when I saw this on google maps the other day, I am going to go look at its glory IRL when I visit Chicago this month.

Sometimes, I prefer the wide roadways over the useless "public space" that's just vacant lawn or paving or something, which have no real use apart from (by implication) people sitting there or something.
