10th enemy has the bomb.
Thanks for posting the Arc de Triomphe roundabout, I spent a fun evening just hanging out there and watching the craziness of the traffic, with the number of lanes seeming to change from 3 to 6 within seconds. Do you know why it is done in such a crazy way? I don't remember seeing any lane markings at all.

Have you heard of any road construction methods to reduce heat generation in cities? Sydney, Australia data shows that the city are is on average nearly 20 degrees Celsius warmer than it was 150 years ago due to urban heat, and I would think roads would be one place we could try to reduce urban heat, whether by different materials or some sort of paint covering. I have no idea on this though.

On Aus cities, have you come across Melbourne hook turns? they always seem to confuse visitors nicely.
