And from the town where freeways were invented, this freeway was opened in 1940... It has had a number of different names and parts; Arroyo Seco Parkway, Pasadena Freeway, Harbor Freeway, CA-110 and I-110. To finally become one long piece of concrete.

you've come a long way baby!

This historical freeway intersects Interstate 105 at this point. I-105 is also known as the Century Freeway and originally called the Glenn Anderson Freeway/Transitway.

For those of you living in other parts of the world, and I suppose even in some parts if the U.S., you may not be familiar with our somewhat exotic way of having roads intersect. In Paris, you have the Traffic Circle at the Arc de Triomphe, the English have the Magic Roundabout, In the Netherlands almost everyone rides Bicycles.

Because you need to know, here is a great site about Freeway Interchanges. Enjoy

This interchange at I-270 & Sawmill Road in Columbus Ohio isn't crazy now. It used to be a traffic nightmare with 90 degree turns and lights at each end of the bridge. The rebuilt interchange shows the innovative X pattern with no 90 degree turns and only a single row of lights in the middle of the bridge.

When I'm in Vegas and watching tv rather than "investing" my money in the machines downstairs, I always hear about the blessed traffic in the spaghetti bowl. Makes me hungry.

Love the Albany one!

This isn't an interchange but rather a place that desperately needs an interchange. This is the north entrance to the Lions Gate bridge in Vancouver where 4 lanes plus 1 bus lane converge in a very short distance to 1 lane! Sometimes you get 2 lanes as it is a 3-lane bridge and the middle one alternates. With only 2 bridges crossing the water, this will be one of two spots people have to cross during the 2012 Olympics.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I am so going on vacation those 2 weeks...
