This is next-level American exceptionalism.

Here's a random bit of French motorway, not radiating from Paris, and a random bit of interstate.

I don't see any difference.

I accept that accusation with exceptional American pride. I think everyone should be proud of the unique features of his or her country and how they led to its history.

I love your definitely non-random town selection in the US. Excellent. My comment was aimed at the overall level of standardization and features of the American interstate, as well as its early and pivotal development in our country's history. That's all. It was not a slight at anyone else's roadways, however exceptional.
