Hitler did the right thing..

Let me explain in some way.  The motorway round London is a big circle called the M25.  Now somebody failed to do the math when they worked it out - There are 9 x 6 lane motorways, and 13 x 4 lane normal roads connected to it.  That's a total of 106 lanes.  The M25 has 8 lanes, not 20, not 12, friggin 8!  So even if you assume 75% of people don't go round it (which is a big assumption) that still means you should hav 26 lanes to cope with the traffic....


You think that's idiotic? I point to the M25/A21 junction as the greatest example of human stupidity ever. The road designers decided that having the 3 lane bound to be overcrowded M25 narrow down to two lanes westbound and one lane eastbound was a good idea. Surely everyone can see the error in this theory without even needed to study civil engineering. :rolleyes:

You all know that M25 is in the shape of a demonic sigil, right? :p

Well, I'd say that all road like this, that let you go 'round a big city, are ****ed up. We've got one here, which circle Paris, and it's a friggin nightmare to use it. :hopping:

If your talking roads nothing is as bad as I-95 from Virginia to Maryland.  Some genius engineer decided to take the most crowded interstate around one of the most crowded cities and bring it from 8 lanes to two.  One each way.  Needles to say rush hour takes 4 to 8 hours
