That’s largely a California problem. Here in Texas we are building highways on top of highways.

The Texas interchange stacks are terrifying if you're not used to them. The first time I went up a five level stack I legit thought I was going off the edge of the road into the sky or something, and was gonna die. I was not prepared lol.

Just out of interest, can you point me towards one on Google Maps? (Curious non-American.)

Here's one of the most famous examples: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yxgJryDok962rdHB8

There's even a Wikipedia article with some photos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Five_Interchange

The interchange stacks are wild but we are also really into double decker highways. All of which also have frontage roads so that’s practically triple the amount of road.
