The Most Freeway-Heavy Downtowns in the US: 10 Cities With Huge Downtown Freeways and Interchanges

Today's video looks at the downtowns in the US that have the most land devoted to freeways. These aren't necessarily the cities with the most traffic in the US, or the most congested cities in the world -- some of them are smaller cities whose inclusion in the top ten may surprise you! We'll also investigate the question of whether or why freeways are bad, or whether they're indispensable to economically high-performing cities. Stops on our journey today -- not all of which show up in the top 10 -- include Dayton, Vancouver, Birmingham, Orlando, Cincinnati, Nashville, Youngstown, Houston, Kansas City, Dallas, Mexico City, Tulsa, Atlanta, Portland, Providence, Winnipeg, Austin, Richmond, San Antonio, Charlotte, and Hartford. We'll explore the transportation decisions that led to calamitous urban form outcomes, so prepare to be profoundly depressed by these cities' infrastructure choices. Note that the biggest freeway in the US (the Houston metro area's Katy freeway) does not make an appearance here. Not just because it isn't a downtown freeway, but because the worst performing cities on this list (or is it top performing?) also have some of the biggest freeway interchanges in the US (downtowns only), and are usually encircled by a central city ring road. Enough explanation -- all is made sickeningly clear in the video!
