The state with the widest freeway in the world?

There's even a particular style of massive highway interchanges nicknamed 'Texas style stack interchanges.'

Basically their outer roads(frontage roads) are just smaller highways, and those all get their own interchange right on top of the main highway interchange, resulting in a giant pasta bowl of overpasses.

Their highway infrastructure is absurd

I hate driving in that state so much because of how stupidly they designed their roads.

That and their love of doing 35 - 90 - 35 in like 2 mile intervals
