This is the 高尾山IC. Takaosan Interchange. What you see here are two elevated highways (one for each direction, to separate traffic), and on/off ramps to connect with National HW 20. HW in mountains, National HW on valley floor. The area is densely populated (think Londonish).pic.twitter.com/fAgCdtzGtq

In addition to the the toll highways and national highways there is also a bypass connecting here as well as a service are (rest stop with restaurants etc.) The traffic corridor services ca. 90 mil ppl in mostly very rugged mountainous areas.pic.twitter.com/HuB2OpflE8

Texas can’t even get a straight stretch of highway right without completely ruining my drive. I see no problem with this.
