lots of people do find the connections they need. But there are some awful large gaps. Look at Chicago's north and northwest suburban areas.....there is virtually no interstates that run through this huge region that go in an east-west direction short of I-90 and the minuscule stretch of the Edens spur that connects Edens Expy with Tri-State. If I lived in any town on the North Shore...from Evanston to Lake Bluff....there is not a single freeway I could catch that could take me west to the Fox River. Lake County has exactly 0 east-west superhighways.
Also, unless I'm mistaken, I-355 is the only north-south route that runs through DuPage County. Indeed if you were to take all of West Suburbia, I think that I-355 and 294 are the only north-south expressways/tollways that run through that large region.
