Then, of course, there is the California solution.  Put everthing
on a Freeway...  (You mean there are still barbaric lands where
people have to come to a halt and pay to use the road???)

Trafic circles are fun.  Not very safe and a real thrill to share
with a semi (18 wheeler truck), but loads of fun.  At least when
an accident clogs up a freeway onramp it doesn't stop the whole show...

(Then again, seems like our freeways often don't move at all...)
