Visit some of the commercial areas of Orlando, FL and you might rethink your view of what the ugliest strip in America is. Think more congestion, more sprawl and no hills.

Rt. 51 disagrees with that bit of hyperbole. If anything, Rt. 22 looks like any other generic commercial strip in the eastern US and much better than many other 1960's era sprawl strips.

Rt. 22 is a state highway so the timing of the traffic signals is determined by Penn DOT engineers to move the greatest volume of traffic in the shortest period.

Just about all those strips around the country are inherently ugly. I think the ugliest I ever saw was Houston. The whole city is an ugly strip. And they have no zoning!
