   I don’t understand why a country so dependent on driving like Canada has such a poor road standard. I drove many years in Portugal and nothing - I mean, nothing, ever - intersects a highway. If it did, it would not be a highway, per the legal definition of highway there. In Canada, highways allow you to drive fast, legally, but don’t give you the safety guarantees you need to do so.

     The only thing “unthinkable” here is building an intersection between two highways without even a traffic light, let alone a proper grade separated interchange, looking at it as a job well done, and assuming a tragedy will never happen. You only need two seconds looking at the aerial photo and a functioning brain to know this is a deadly fuckup. Sadly our elected leaders lack the latter.
