It is also clearly designed for airport trips given the layout of the interior cabin.

Which is genius as in every city that is (a) the most lucrative taxi route and (b) the one with the newest and safest roads.

Yeah that doesn't describe 101 around SFO one bit.

Navigating around the airport is tricky, but the roads are ok. Where it's bad is 101 after the 280 split. It's packed, the lanes are narrow, the road is windy (by freeway standards), and exits are old, awkward, and beyond their capacity.

If you ever get a chance to travel to Sydney, you'll find a nice outlier for road quality near the airport.

What? You should try driving the roads around DTW. Bring your off-road tires.

Many airports across the rust belt and northeast of the US suffer the plague of under-maintained infrastructure. CLE and BWI are coming to mind as well. And driving any highway in ATL can hardly be considered safe.
