    German here. While it does look massively different here we have these walls around the Autobahn to lower the noise from the cars. And since they’re mostly everywhere it also looks the same everywhere: Autobahn, walls, sometimes trees or otherwise green.

    (rush hour ofc looks different and is the same every damn day and we just keep on doing it)

    On the other hand I have to say aside from the streets there’s a huge variety in scenery, here as well as in the states.

      Autobahn is out of the city experience. Stroads on OP picture are basically half of every American city.

        Autobahn are also leading into many cities, often ending behind the border of the city with its own city entry sign.

        Anyhow if you mean Landstraße vs Autobahn, fair. I just wanted to add that on major routes though in a different way it can be similar in other countries.

        And yes I know those big ass wide streets and their design is horrible.

          Yeah, specifically designed roads for transportation inevitably will look the same, they’re purpose driven and constructed by a very specific code.
          But that shit in the photo is their cities or what they call cities anyway, that’s what is bizzare.

      The walls are common here in the states for highways going through populated areas.

      The areas shown in the original aren’t highways, they are the awful roads running through large commercial areas. They are designed to get as many cars through as possible while still letting people turn into the exact parking lot they want. They have a lot of accidents

        I know I know. I just wanted to add a harmless international perspective. Someone else already added a Pic which looks like the regular traffic jam here.

        I seem to not have to adhered to some inherent rule here, although we’re all against cars. Sheesh
