Somehow this video popped up, and it had many ideas about urban highways, funding and lots of other interesting tidbits.

I watched all of the video, and indeed, there are some interesting points, contained within it. The one thing that it demonstrates, as do many other similar videos, is that an important factor in road planning is timing. Many of the videos out there, seem to have been filmed in the late 50s-early 60s. I'm sure that over time, traffic patterns have changed, especially considering that many roads take 5-7 years, from the time that the drawings are complete, to the time the road is finally opened for traffic.
