As for roads out town, I don't find this one dangerous (unless someone is confused or drunk), but I find it kind of scary...the part of Lakeshore drive in Chicago where there's like two expressways running parallel to each other. What's up with that? When you make a left turn onto the farthest left road, it feels like you're going down the wrong way. |
In Florida (for most parts I've been) the speed limit is whatever you want it to be...Until you see the police. It usually works well for us. But usually the max is 70/75mph (on the biggest highways), I've never seen above that.
I'd have to say the WORST piece of road is the stretch of 826 (although all of 826 is bad) that runs through Hialeah-OMG! I'm sorry, I love my fellow Sfloridians, but it's obvious that most of those people did not learn to drive here. That road should be razed. I seriously, they don't know how to get on it, how to merge, how to drive, nor how to get off! WTF!
BTW- ever since I heard that Flamingo and Pines was the worst intersection I never got why because even with the hospital being right there and ambulances flying by at any given time you rarely see many accidents. When you do however, they are MAJOR. I used to work in the mall right there and drove that way every day and never had issues...
