    What town needs a 6 lane road, how terrible are your road engineers?

      “Need” is irrelevant when they already exist and aren’t going away any time soon.

      But as for why it was built: it’s a busy business town. Residential is all in the south (away from the highway and major roads) and the north is almost entirely offices, hotels, restaurants, and a giant mall.

      It’s my second least favorite suburb but I don’t have much of a choice but to work here unless I completely change careers. The only viable competitor is in the same town.

        Is that highway as in motorway, rather than just any road? I presume that is just a difference in American/English. The very idea of having one of those in a town is insanity.
