1·1 month agoIt increases the efficiency of car traffic, not moving people. It’s still good engineering from a car perspective, but terrible urban design.
How so? It’s a total traffic killer, in more ways than one :P
The designer of this intersection type actually touted that island as a place where you can “beautify” the intersection with a sculpture of landscaping. Lmao
I mean… the second exit is usually going straight. So that makes sense. First exit would be a right turn (or left in the UK)
Apparently this is actually less wide compared to his original concept that served 19,000 vehicles per hour.

21 lanes wide, however there are medians making it wider than that.
if exercising imminent domain is on the table
It isn’t. This concept was not ultimately chosen for this intersection. In fact the inventor of this concept was a pretty… interesting guy.

It honestly is quite amazing from an engineering standpoint but would be pretty immoral to build in real life
I hate when I hit those children and my car slows like 20 miles per hour so I have to waste gas getting it back up to 70.

If you are fine with being circumcised, that seems like the best possible outcome and I’m glad you are happy with your body in that way. However, many people were circumcised and are not fine with it. After all, it is a choice made for them without their consent. Also, it shouldn’t matter what women prefer. It should be your body, your choice. If someone wants to get circumcised later in life, that is their choice.
I mean… it would seem like it
Especially in this context where 1969 is the moon landing and Woodstock year

No, why would it be? Water is the anti-lubricant
How is it supposed to be efficient to use an entire lane only for exiting?
Not really though, all lanes except the rightmost lane should be passing lanes. It is different in urban areas where they often open up 2 or 3 lanes for exit only or if there is constant heavy merging. But in general, keep right unless passing
You’re always vexed. Just pick.
