Fwiw, feeder lanes probably shouldn’t be counted in Texas because they’re basically glorified city streets. Businesses can have entrances and exits on frontage roads, so there’s not really anything special about them except that they have a slightly higher speed limit (5060mph vs 4045mph) and they have immediate access to the highway.

An interesting article to go along with this.

The feeder there is also almost certainly 45. So not really any faster than normal stroads.

I was going to ask if they count the frontage roads as part of the highway in TX. Because that’s not right.

Reason why I loathe cities.

What does a 26 lane highway have to do with cities?

You tend not to find 26 lane highways out in the middle of the bush?

ch00f ,

You also tend to not find them in the middle of cities. Texas just happens to be a car-dependent wasteland.

This is literally a consequence of urban sprawl & cars, not cities. lol

Cities don’t inherently create this much private traffic. Car centric city planning does. You can build cities that are not centered around cars. It is, in fact, easier to plan for fewer cars per person if everyone lives close together, because the places you need to go will be closer and you can bike or walk, and there’s enough people for public transport to go frequently and everywhere without being half empty.

Infrastructure like this is mutually exclusive with the urban density of a real city.

If you have a highway like this, all you get is a highway, instead of a city.

If I count the roads off the sides, on ramps and off ramps, etc, the highest I can get is 18 lanes. Is this the photo of where it’s 26 wide? I can’t seem to find it.

I can get to 22 in the foreground of the pic with some lanes underneath others with the flyover ramps.

Kbobabob ,

Lol, the title even says only 20 with 12 main and 8 feeder lanes.

Yea, progress, progress

Counting the service road is kind of cheating. In built up areas in Texas they’re de facto city streets that happen to exactly mirror the freeway. They have intersections, lights, businesses, etc.

mkwt ,

Yep. Texas does that because of a state law that says any landowner with property adjacent to a highway has a right to access that highway.

I mean no shade, but I was honestly expecting as I scrolled down that this would be posted in c/ABoringDystopia
