Great Aerial pics of Freeway Intersections

[seafish]

Just thought some of you guys might find these pics fun.

My favorite is Pic#1 in Link #1, in Atlanta, GA, Athough the map for "how to turn left at Rosanov St. " in Moscow, Russia is also very interesting. Do traffic engineers go to school to learn how to design these things. :-laf:-laf

To me its utter stupidity to place an on-ramp ahead of an off-ramp, far too many in the USA, also the far left fast lane ending, merging, why not merge the slow lane? I never went to traffic engineer's design school, seems like I'm not alone. On freeway two signs reading, 'Keep off Median' reading each way, why not post on same post? save material and labor as they are placed just a few yards apart. Down hill road corner built with an adverse camber, freeway and Interstate, when will wonders cease? who let the clowns out of the nut-house anyway? Locals should never be employed to post routes and signs, another, 'dead end road' sign posted 1/4 of mile off main road up dead end road, for a trucker what an unpleasant surprise. Signs on freeway placed just after you should have turned off it. signs on right side of highway great when view is blocked by trucks why not on each side? must leave double parked, on the sofa that is.
