Fat Highways
“America’s obsession with supersizing has ballooned from burgers, sodas, and lattes to SUVs, houses, and now freeways. Cities including Atlanta, Phoenix, and Washington, D.C., propose to widen some freeways to 24 lanes, or 400 feet—enough space for two 747s, side by side. The El Toro “Y†interchange in Orange County, Calif., already has 26 lanes. If this trend continues, you’ll need binoculars to find your exit” .:Architect Magazine->
