Oh?? You need to go to a town 50 miles away and don't have much time? No problem fam, you can go like 80 mph before a cop even GIVES A SHIT. That highway isn't anywhere near you??? Babe, you're so silly. They all connect and we can get you from A to B in record time, nw. Just listen to Siri and take exit 279B.
And those big scary trucks?? They aren't allowed in the fast lane. 😎 We even post cute safety messages on light up billboards so you don't forget to buckle up (the government cares about you, you don't need God).
God bless the US interstate highway system (especially the Stevenson Expressway) and God bless America.

I LOVE being on the left lane 5mph below the speed limit

Ffs the other day we had a state trooper doing the usual "1mph under in the left lane, baiting people to pass him" bullshit.
Car in the right lane cuts off middle lane that was speed-matching the cop, cop pulls him over.
Despite the cop being in the far right lane now, the cars in the left lane still felt the need to slow to 60. The cop is occupied, speed up darnit.

When one has the time, they are the best. Added tip: there's this app called Roadways America that gives you maps of little touristy things (think things like the biggest ball of twine or the "Monument to the Faithful Slaves" in SC) you can see on your trips. Worth it.

It should be on iOS since that's what I use. But, in proper old man fashion, I misnamed it. The app is called Roadside America, and it has a green and yellow color scheme (like a road sign). You get one map quadrant of the US for free, the rest you have to pay for, but it's not too expensive.

In local affairs I've noticed Texas has better roads than many other states. Highways were down to two lanes in the Midwest and there will also be shitty off roads there that still have semi trucks on them.
Colorado seems to have more potholes and beaner trash on the road (which is funny because surely Texas has more of them) and the freeways sometimes have exits on the left which means no consistent fast lane that is free from slowdowns and people suddenly trying to get in for their turn.
Plus only Texas seems to have Uturn lanes so you don't have to wait on a light and turn left just to make a Uturn.

Texas has the best highway system of any state I've been to. The frontage roads make highway entry/exit efficient and making a U is incredibly easy. Frick them haters who complain about land use, Texas has practically limitless wide open space and would be r-slurred not to use it

Yeah no that's fine, we don't need a runout of any type where 494 and 94 merge. Just let 494's slow lane merge with 94's fast lane. The loaded semis, Somalians doing 54, and Rowdies doing 90 can negotiate this juuust fine.

You are right that the Interstate Highway system is a great American innovation copied across the world.
Here's President Eisenhower in 1956 opening the first IHS in Missouri- the famous Route 66.
And here's a great article about why he did it:

I'm a nervous driver (i try to always have a couple drinks before I get on a highway so I can keep my cool) and once i made a scary trip by myself from Portland to Seattle and I drove so slow I made the trucks take the passing lane to go around me. My state has a speed limit of 65 and when I saw signs saying 75 I freaked out.
