POV: you are designing the freeways in Downtown LA
Transcript
Why the fuck did I agree to this? Ugh. I have no idea what I'm doing. Whatever. How hard could this be? Alright. First off, let's name these three freeways, in binary, I yes. Just different variations of ones and zeros. This will potentially become the busiest interchange in the tier. So let's do fucking, one lane to accommodate that. And, drivers should realize they need to merge into this lane right here. Let's, separate the highway into two distinct areas. So this will feel like a normal fucking highway and this will feel more like a Mario kart level. Who said a freeway can't be fun? Most of these lanes will drop you off in one of Downtown LA's many one way streets. However, one mystery lane will lead you right back onto the one tier. This lane will be my little secret. I just don't think there's a simpler way to design this freeway.
