Intersections are generally a problem because they are constrained by a host of other factors. Complex problem + limited budget generally result in poor implementations. However, in a large enough context you can remove buildings and move roads etc.

So, these things are very much fixable given sufficient priority and resources.

Pittsburgh isn't flat, many times it is not "move this road." It's bore through this mountain, build this bridge, fix the drainage issues around this creek, etc. and fixing intersections almost always leads to more issues downstream.
