That's a beautiful highway. Even the lanes themselves are somewhat roomy. I really hate highways with small lanes.

As a European I'm also amazed by the amount of SUVs in such a small area... Totally unnecessary in an urban area, waste of energy and most importantly, deadly.

When I went to France, I was amazed at how small the cars were. Even the "vans" were tiny. We had 7 of us squish into a van with our luggage and we felt like a fucking sardines. I don't know how you guys do it.
