If you look at that exit on Street View, it's just a basic highway exit with a turn at the end and a whole bunch of signs telling you to go 20 mph and warning you about the turn.

IDK what else they can do aside from putting rumble strips or a speed hump. gently caress these guys; this is 100% reckless driver error. Collect broken car souvenirs at your own risk tho

This might be my yankeeness typing, but the street view of the tunnel and the open air stopping distance up to the intersection seems drat generous compared to lots of exits I can picture between the nyc and philly metros.

Here is a famous picture of downtown Houston from some time in the 1970s:



Supposedly, when the original Sim City was designed the first prototype version they tested (modeled from 1980s US city data) ended up with cities that were just 50% or more parking lots. The programmers had to redesign the game to make it less realistic so that it wasn't just an endless unfun sprawl of ugly parking lots.

sim city resulted in hellish parking scapes when wright implemented the rules according to a us zoning book or some poo poo

The invasion of Texas in 1999 was already covered in a historical account written in 1974

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Texas-Israeli_War:_1999

Here's part of how it starts.

quote:

By the early 1990s, a fanatical Irish nationalist government had declared war on the UK, conquered Northern Ireland, and expelled the Protestants from that region. In August 1992, Irish commandos introduced LSD into the water supplies of much of the UK. Under the influence of the drug, the Prime Minister and Parliament ordered the use of nuclear weapons against Ireland and her allies, South Africa and China.

...

Texas declared independence from the United States as the Second Republic of Texas; due to Texas' large oil reserves and refineries, its recovery was an important strategic objective.

The schadenfreude is that they weren't under the influence of LSD at all because it's immediately destroyed by the chlorine in tap water
