MODERATORS
For those wondering it’s like 3 feeder lanes, 6 regular freeway lanes, and 1 hov/toll lane on each side. When it was completed back in (est 2005) it was already outdated and fully congested duri my rush hour.
Outdated makes it sound like it was a good idea at any point during its inception.
Highways were outdated the moment they were invented. We already had better options. Cars were a mistake.
And don't forget the 3 lanes of frontage road in each direction which are common on most highways in Texas! They also get contested during rush hour of course, but have traffic signals between the entrances/exits so aren't part of the actual highway even though they run parallel to it.
