    Highways are fucking bananas, man. You should check out I-35 through downtown Austin. The designer put these big flying shoulders over the main lane, and it precipitated so many wrecks that the architect of the project killed himself.

      I’m now reading that the architect suicide is an urban legend.

      Can you show me some coordinates of the worst places there? I’m trying to find the place this redditor talks about, but I can’t find the entrance to the highway on StreetView. 26th isn’t even connected to the highway, so I presume they meant that they started driving from there.

      But yeah, this highway looks horrible.
