I'm a civil engineer myself, though not a traffic guy. I remember reading reading a comparison of highway capacity per country way back in class though. Most euro countries were able to transport around 1900-2100 cars per hour per lane before congestion set in. Germany somehow managed to outperform everyone at 2500. I think US and Italy were the worst with 1600 or something similar. Why can a highway handle 50% more Germans than Italians? It's not the roads I guess. Never mind the 50's, the German roads are from the 30's and every exit is outright lethal. Also, why isn't every junction just a cloverleaf? Why do you need to design a completely new and confusing heap of spaghetti every time two highways meet?
