In Florida, they like their highway on and off-ramps to be action packed! So instead of creating some kind of loop on and off, they create a cross-fire situation where people turning left onto the on-ramp (Shown in the green arrow) not only have to worry about turning left accross a major road, they also have to compete with the people coming off the off-ramp (shown in blue) trying to turn left onto the major road. This just seems like bad planning.

People in Louisiana like to go offroading! So the kind Governor decided that all major highways should give you that same experience, so every road has a million bumps on it.

In Louisiana, painting lines to seperate lanes seems to be optional.

Confused by this graphic? Gee, me too...imagine trying to drive in it. For some reason the middle of an intersection in Louisiana is also a place for people to stop, so they put stop lights there. This is just a disaster.

Every intersection in New Orleans is required to have a minimum of 27 stop lights. Just in case you missed the first 26. Oddly enough, we still saw someone run a red light as if he didn't notice it.

Texas's Roads

This is a typical texas road. Two things are odd about them. First every major interstate has a major road running parallel to it the whole way. So when you get off an exit, there is never a loop or offramp, you just cut over to the major road from the interstate. Same thing if you want to get back on to the interstate. And speaking of getting onto the interstate, the worst thing about most highways in texas is they give you NO MERGE AREA. A major beltway with cars coming at 60 mph will merge with another major highway and there will be no merge area, it just dumps you onto the highway. This always catches me off guard, because I usually expect some kind of merge.
