Instead of a single lane, this highway is constructed of lane segments that overlap slightly, so that a lane change will be necessary every ,e.g. 100 yards, otherwise one falls off the end of the segment. This encourages more careful driving and would be more neighborhood friendly

// more neighborhood friendly// And entertaining, if cars fell off the edge with any regular frequency :) |

This design is different from conventional obstructions; to get anywhere you must constantly be changing lanes (i.e. everyone's turn signal will be on constantly;) this make those who do not signal very obvious to the authorities; also, sleepy drivers tend to be discouraged as a failure to change lanes ends their journey (temporarily, like a pit stop...in fact coffee stations are at thos segment terminations.). |

Driving in So. Cal. is like this, as every right lane turns into an exit... |

I don't understand the bit about //more neighborhood friendly//. Highways don't often pass through neighborhoods, do they? Most neighborhoods I've been in have a single lane going each direction, most of them don't even have lines separating traffic flow in different directions. |

Absolutly standard in Atlanta. Start in the right lane, you are either going to be dumped off in a forced right turn, or slowly move to the left, as lanes are added to your right. |

I can't see this working. In places like Boston they'd end up ignorning the lanes altogether. Wait, they do that anyways... |
