Ok everyone, time for some game theory.
Straightforward from here:
1. Ban Jeeps
2. All roads free of broken-down Jeeps
3. Trump impeached
4. Pence impeached.
5. USA realized it can’t be ruled by someone from Wisconsin
6. HHFP sees opportunity
7. HHFP raises Land Cruiser Army and drives on Washington using Jeep-Free highways
8. President HHFP

Well, ramp delays are nice, but that just moves your traffic backup from the freeway itself back to the surface streets.
They say it’s a “fallacy of design” that designers think drivers need rules. Well, the idea of no signs/markings/signals might give some the warm fuzzies, but I guarantee it doesn’t for insurance companies. You might be thinking, “What do I care what the insurance company thinks?” Well, consider what would happen to your insurance rates if your city took away signs and lights.
Additionally, pedestrian crosswalks carry legal liability with them. A pedestrian not in the crosswalk is jaywalking, and a motorist that hits a jaywalker hasn’t done anything wrong. So what do you do if there is no crosswalk anywhere?
Diverging Diamond Interchanges are the bee’s knees. They’re amazing.
Last, he keeps referring to vehicle collisions as “accidents.” Please note that is an obsolete term. The term “accident” implies the incident wasn’t preventable, which is wrong—all are preventable. The correct term to use is simply “crash.” You don’t hear people talk about “plane accidents” or “train accidents,” do you?

I love those diverging diamonds. They look weird from overhead, but they’re actually really easy to use in person. You’re still following the painted lines, and you’re still reacting to traffic signals. The only real catch is anticipating which lane to be in for turning, and there are plenty of signs placed in advance to help with that.

So with the ramp meters moving the traffic back to surface streets they are making drivers choose to take an alternate route, so it would over time probably work itself out. If I know I can enter the expressway along four points, but 2 or 3 of those points are always backed up, I’m going to go to point 4 and get on, or I will avoid it altogether. But in the meantime, the folks on the freeway are clipping along at a decent pace. Worth a shot maybe? Interesting that the congestion increases exponentially based on vehicles on the road. I guess that’s why I’m off days or times, traffic can get really nice and light. I always wondered why.
For my trip into the office in Detroit, I can take all surface streets and get there in 40 mins every time, but no quicker. Or I can take the expressway and get there in 25-60 mins depending on traffic. For me, Waze is one of the best tools out there so I can choose my own adventure. Works out nicely.
But good video nonetheless, good info.

Wow thats..... a sensible solution. If it reduces travel times I won’t mind stoplights on ramps.

Only us silly Americans insist on making the driver liable and forcing the walkers to take the long way. In much of the world, there’s no such thing as jaywalking (or it’s very selectively enforced), so people often cross wherever they want (but they need to look out for themselves).

The lights that limit entry don’t work if the design of the freeway further down is garbage or the drivers are stupid. I know because I drive freeways with access lights and all it does is shifts the problem to the right lane and further down the road, while a bunch of cars idle away backing up side streets for miles.
