Him calling it a water tunnel though me off for a sec. I realized what he was talking about but never heard anyone refer to it or any other pipeline or aqueduct as a "water tunnel"
James just so you know, we do have small rural or as we call them country roads. Roads that look as if they simply cut through a forest with no streetlights and houses spaced miles apart. Some people like their privacy so they buy maybe one hundred fifty acres or so, place their house on it with pasture for animals and buildings for equipment storage and animal shelter. A drive to a grocery store may be a forty- five-minute drive each way. Now you know why we have American fridges; shopping is usually a once -a -week affair.
Looking straight is also dangerous, because you're not able to see if another vehicle is swerving towards yours. I would suspect that those that drive while only looking staright ahead, also drive in another vehicle's blind spot.
@davidcosta2244 that's true but if it's a choice between staying calm or panicking from the height your driving at, you gotta do what you can when you have a fear of heights.
Must be about Dallas Texas. They are so high there. Not much in high railings either. Am glad my wife was driving. Had to lay my seat back and not watch it. Preferred the ones I'm used to in Kentucky and now South Carolina. Be happy where you are in driving. The high 5 would turn your hair grey if had to drive on it everyday.
8:47 A good tip for navigating these large highways and interchanges is not to just look at the arrow and graphic on the GPS device. More importantly, you should be looking or listening for the name of the road or highway and the direction of travel that the GPS device will tell you. Then search for the road signs that correspond with the route you want to take. Highway signs will be on large gantries over the highway. The sign for a particular road or highway will be directly above the lane that will take you to there. Find the sign you need and position yourself in that lane and then follow the next signs through the interchange. You usually get a two-mile heads up of what lane you need to be in so you're not swerving at the last-minute.
You two are just great to watch. Thank you so much! You put my heart at ease. The first time I was watching you was when you were honoring our military and you really made me remember how wonderful they truly are.
2:21 the Delaware Aqueduct transports water. It isn't a commuter tunnel, and yes it's underground but it takes water from north of the city down to NYC.
You guys should look into the Texas "Rainbow Bridge". Ive only been over it 2 times as a passenger and i was terrified both times. Once my mother was driving and I was a teenager. The 2nd time I actually had to close my eyes... it was too scary to go over it.
The old zoo interchange was lower, but the new one is a hell of alot safer with all the exits being on the right…. And its hell of alot easier getting to greenfield, 84, hwy 100, ….. even getting to the zoo itself is hell of alot easier
In San Francisco, some of the flyovers are to get you over land (historical landmarks) they did not want to disturb. I suppose that still comes down to the cost of the land they are using.
I always find this funny since I've driven big truck in all 48 continental states Ontario and Vancouver providence in Canada for over 25 years. As a trainer in the past, I find that when people concentrate on something they have never done human nature is to drive with blinders on which is not the safest way to go. What I loved about Texas, both driving big truck and I was stationed in Fort Hood and Fort Bliss is that Texas has a lot of frontage roads. If you miss your turn it is easy to turn yourself around. A lot less stress trying to follow directions. Lol Nice reaction.
No matter the type of freeway interchange, it's essential that drivers follow the signage given to the t. Ea, even getting in the correct lane where the sign is noted to go on the correct offer on-ramp that we need to use.
Atlanta has three particularly complex interchanges, all of them intersections of I-285 (the Perimeter) with other limited-access highways. Spaghetti Junction is the northeast junction of I-285, I-85, and several other artery streets. Its tallest flyover is "only" 90 feet. At the northwest intersection of I-285 and I-75, not only is the bridgework pretty complex, but it has famed "ramps to nowhere" (started but never completed), plus I-75 just north of that is 24 lanes wide, including access lanes and express lanes. (Texas has a highway that they count as 26 lanes wide, but they count 4 lanes of frontage roads, which I don't count. ;) ) And the intersection of I-285 with GA-400 just got a major rebuild to undo a lot of the weave issues and vastly increase capacity. It involves so many side streets and other crossings that it's now a mile wide east-to-west, and to take some minor side exits you have to exit the main highway to your offramp a kilometer before you finally reach the side road.
When you are using the interchanges here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area you just focus on your exit and never really think about it. Then you go look at them on Google Maps and you really realize how much of an “organized mess” they are.
I took the Hi-5 everyday for years in Dallas! I also had too take the 405/105 interchange in LA daily for like 10 years and that one is so high you can see people in the office buildings beside it.
Loved the frontage roads in Texas! They made everything so convenient. Hop on the freeway for a bit get on a frontage road, shop, eat and back on the freeway to home. Liked it better than California's shopping centers with huge parking lots.
I think you guys did a video on it but LA has a highway that is like eight lanes on each side so sixteen lanes total. Also on the north side of Atlanta, Georgia has a locally famous interchange called Spaghetti Junction due to the fact that when seen from above it looks like a giant plate of spaghetti.
Chesapeake Bay Bridge is about 18 miles.. 2 different 2 mile tunnels under the water and 14 miles of bridge over the water.. for a total of 18.. it is wild.. bridge then u enter a tunnel for 2 miles “water dripping on ur car”.. then back on the bridge for 5-6 miles into another tunnel then bridge to the end.. it goes from portsmoth, norfolk, virginia beach across the chesapeake bay to chesapeake and hampton virginia
Concrete manufacturing generates a lot of CO2. The per capita CO2 footprint in the US is about twice that of the UK and EU and four times the world average.
from the perspective of the driver it does make sense, there are signs over the lane you are driving in, they tell the destination of that lane, so if you are heading west on interstate 10, and you come up on an interchange you follow the signs that say west Los Angeles, unless you are going somewhere else in which case you follow the posted instructions to merge onto whatever highway you want, for instance interstate 17 North, in Phoenix, follow the signs and get in the lane you want for your destination. 😊
Houston Traffic is so bad because most people that work in Houston dont live in Houston. They live an hour outside of the city in the suburbs. Downtown Houston is a ghost town on the weekends. So everyone travels the freways at the same times.
Yeah, those loop ones in Washington state where I'm from or where I lived for a long time. Those loop ones are really bad because people are trying to merge off to get onto one loop when you're coming off of a loop. It makes traffic crazy and long
Seeing them in the distance is intimidating, but once you're trying to follow your directions you really don't notice. You guys probably hit a bunch of these and if you looked back on your trip you'd probably be like, "We drove on that??!" Yes - Yes you did!
I grew up in a small town a bit east of Dallas, and I remember as a child how excited I used to get when we got to go to Dallas. My brother and I were always hopeful we would get to ride on the top "spaghetti" 😅
Sometimes it makes sense 😮. Here in our area, freeways get pretty congestion. One particular on ramp enters the right side for single drivers but for 2 or more drivers enter the same freeway, same direction on the left side . Hard to describe but it keeps carpool drivers entering directly on the carpool lane on the next freeway.
Yeah, that traffic doesn't look that bad. That's because they're probably in other states that doesn't have a lot of traffic. I think Kansas has a couple of those. Their bridges are pretty nice and low though obviously for tornado purposes
Driving in NY actually isn't bad. The roads are on a grid and all one way. It's super hard to get lost. Traffic is beautifully synchronized. There's a lot of people, but it moves.
American interchanges are so tall just to freak me out. And I've been over many throughout this country, always with my hands gripping the steering wheel tight and looking straight ahead at the vehicle in front of me. There is a conspiracy.
An interesting fact that lots of folks here IN America don't even know- Our modern highway/interstate system was inspired by (Wait for it....)- Hitler's Germany. Yep. Not a typo or mistake. When Eisenhower saw the 'Autobahn' and the roadways Hitler mandated (For moving massive amounts of people/equipment, for his war effort), he took those ideas and brought them to America. (People really shouldn't ignore or forget it's the ROMANS who actually created this concept, and their roads still survive to this day). Big cities are one thing. Personally, I can't stand any part of them. If you want to see/experience the polar opposite, go as 'Rural' as you can. It's truly an astonishing difference. :-)
Red rock video...I have watched you alot and seem to be looking at country western music....well as a person who grew up idolizing rodeo there is no better story than lane frost vs red rock.....as someone who lived through watching the battles it was riveting...I never had enough talent to really compete, but lane frost was something special
To answer the title question, "Why are American interchanges so tall?", I'll ask one in return: Why are UK interchanges so short? Your answer to my question will make the answer to your question obvious.
The thing is, in America when you live in one of these towns and travel these highways like that, they go up in sections little by little piece by piece so you have plenty of time to understand the new addition to any freeway system. It's not like they just pop up overnight and everyone's blind. You know which freeway you want which interstate you want because you live there and you have time to adjust to the new ones. Probably people like me that bitch incessantly that we need more interstate so we already know how it's going to be built. LOL
This video is incorrect. The longest 'spanned' bridge is in NY (a bridge that is supported by cables from a tower or more), but the longest bridge span is in Louisiana. It's the Ponchatoula Causeway or the US Causeway. It's the world's longest bridge over water at 23.86 miles (38.40 km) and opened in 1956
I would not want to crash either but there’s almost never a reason to crash… everyone is in their correct lane long before the interchange. No one cutting across multiple lanes. Everyone has their own one way street. Expensive but near fool proof.
I'm afraid of those high interchanges. We have a few in Atlanta now. Our main one is called spaghetti junction. But Dallas is freaky scary. I've been there on business a couple of times, I just take Ubers.
Interesting video you watched except for the do-gooder lament of American car culture. I like highways and driving and it bothers me not in the slightest to go fast, high, interchanges or straightaways, or being in traffic (if forced to be). I don't want my life limited to short distance mass transit, nor is it necessary to pay for trains to reach everywhere. Cars leave when you are ready too. I believe the old film was Los Angeles. I felt there was smog in the distance and so that was likely LA.
In a car, you don't really see how high you are. Because you can't look over the garrail which is cecement because the car is so lowas a school bus driver I. And my students are sitting quiet. And it is quite scary. To look over to your left and see all the way to the ground. I loved to mess with my kids. I would tell them we're coming up on a tall bridge. If. You're afraid of heights.Just do what I do.Close your eyes most kids found it funny. Overall most people get around on the overpasses without too much trouble. Usually they have clearly marked signs above the lane. You need to be in to go where you're going. Just pay attention to the signs.
The longest bridge span isn’t in New York. It’s in Louisiana. Four of the five longest bridges in the country are in Louisiana. The Pontchartrain Causeway is the longest span over water in the world.
I have to stay on one of those Bridges where they're all crazy. I live in California and I got off at the wrong exit because of this craziness of the bridges and how they swept around and not the clover ones but some of the weird ones later you have on here and I end up in a really bad neighborhood and my car broke down and it was night cuz I left to get together with friends. Man I was so scared but this guy pulled up in a car and he was a black man and he says are you okay? I said my car is broken down. I'm waiting for a friend to come get me. He said she wants to kind of sit in my car so I don't really know you but there was a mattress out there. It was a really bad area. They said just come sit my car. We'll wait for your friend to come and my friend came and the guy was pretty nice. Thank goodness there was a nice guy there that worried about me. Thank you Lord. Cuz those little freeways can get crazy sometimes and you get off the wrong exit. You find yourself in area you can't get out of
Apparently, the guy who doesn't like roads and wants US cities to be ultra dense megacities like Mexico City, Tokyo, NY and Manila. I have no desire to live in a concrete jungle or ride my bike to work in 100 degree heat. He should pick up and move to Belgium or the Philippines. Oh, and frontage roads are the best.
Drill baby drill, I want 50 lane freeways, and if have to destroy POC part of town, let's do it, as long as I can drive my truck, sip on some monster energy drink, drive with my cute female cousin, and listen to my pop country music, God Bless America. And if you want to criticize anything about this country then go back to another country. WE are perfect nothign to change! Phuck yeah!
Why would you worry about how it is constructed? On a Clover Leaf .. ok .. you need to slow down on the tight curve .. but as a driver you SEE the curve road .. and assuming you have literally any experience or training you know to slow down when the road curves tighter. You drive, follow the signs. You don't critique the design .. much .. unless obviously an idiot designed the interchange lanes. Just saying .. the driver .. he or she drives. You follow the road. You follow the signs. At some later time .. possibly .. when you stop at a fast food joint near the interchange you MAY look at it and tell your partner . "That is a Clover Leaf type ..." ... but NOT .. when you are driving. Should not matter in the least .. not to the driver. Let the passengers look and geek out. The driver .. simply .. drives.
When you're driving one of these, just avoid thinking you're James Bond, the Fall Guy, or in NASCAR, and you should be OK... going flow of traffic...🚗🏍️🚐
The aqueduct in New York is a tunnel delivery water to New York City from upstate New York
Him calling it a water tunnel though me off for a sec. I realized what he was talking about but never heard anyone refer to it or any other pipeline or aqueduct as a "water tunnel"
I wish the "water tunnel" went thru Rome NY, near Syracuse... Then we could call it the Roman Aqueduct.
James just so you know, we do have small rural or as we call them country roads. Roads that look as if they simply cut through a forest with no streetlights and houses spaced miles apart.

When I am on one of these tall interchanges in Texas I have to look stright ahead and never look left or right lol
I have never liked high interchanges.. I also look straight, hands on wheel.. take deep breaths until I get thru.
Sounds lie, you don’t know how to change a lane a drive I just was driving in Dallas ya it was busy but it wasn’t scary lol or hard to drive on
Looking straight is also dangerous, because you're not able to see if another vehicle is swerving towards yours. I would suspect that those that drive while only looking staright ahead, also drive in another vehicle's blind spot.

The Delaware Water Tunnel mentioned by Grady the Engineer is a water-supply tunnel ( a pipeline ). If my memory is correct, it is 115 miles long.
Love Grady! He does such a great job making engineering topics interesting.
2:21 the Delaware Aqueduct transports water. It isn't a commuter tunnel, and yes it's underground but it takes water from north of the city down to NYC.

We have a 5 stacked Interchange in Milwaukee called the Zoo Interchange,where I-41,I-94 ,I-894,and US 45 meet.
Hey neighbor….. granville station here

Before 98’ Denver had what was called The Mousetrap at the intersection of I25 and I70. I swear there was a spiral involved.
Used to live about an hour outside of Dallas. It's definitely an experience. The Hi-5 is an engineering marvel.
I actually love massive interchanges. Yes, it's strange, yet there's something majestic about huge engineering projects.
Them being amazed at a highway with 4 lanes each way. Meanwhile, the 401 highway by Toronto is an 18 lane highway.

They are so tall so that on icy frozen roads, you will have farther to fall and a bigger explosion when slide off the bridge and on to the cars below.
Yep, this is pretty typical here.
Concrete manufacturing generates a lot of CO2. The per capita CO2 footprint in the US is about twice that of the UK and EU and four times the world average.
I was going to ask you guys to film while you were driving on your first Texas interchange, but I didn't want you to have an accident
from the perspective of the driver it does make sense, there are signs over the lane you are driving in, they tell the destination of that lane, so if you are heading west on interstate 10, and you come up on an interchange you follow the signs that say west Los Angeles, unless you are going somewhere else in which case you follow the posted instructions to merge onto whatever highway you want, for instance interstate 17 North, in Phoenix, follow the signs and get in the lane you want for your destination. 😊

I’m from Houston Tx, I never thought it was unusual until I saw this video 😂 I never thought why a feeder or frontage road was called what it is
Same I am very used to the tall freeway things
Seeing them in the distance is intimidating, but once you're trying to follow your directions you really don't notice. You guys probably hit a bunch of these and if you looked back on your trip you'd probably be like, "We drove on that??!" Yes - Yes you did!

The only thing more difficult than imagining how tall US highway interchanges can get is navigating them if you are not familiar with them.

Spaghetti Junction in Atlanta, Ga. Is kinda tall But I haven’t been on one in Dallas
Yeah!!! The Texas Stack!
This video is incorrect. The longest 'spanned' bridge is in NY (a bridge that is supported by cables from a tower or more), but the longest bridge span is in Louisiana. It's the Ponchatoula Causeway or the US Causeway. It's the world's longest bridge over water at 23.86 miles (38.40 km) and opened in 1956
I think he was referring to the longest single bridge span. That is, a length of bridge between two towers with no intervening supports.
Wow your on a mission to comment on this video. Congrats, everybody needs a hobby!
New York was way easier to drive in than London or even Liverpool (an American talking).

Love to find out what my highest values and inspirations are from random utibers.
You must be a Richard Cranium in person.
Why would you worry about how it is constructed? On a Clover Leaf .. ok .. you need to slow down on the tight curve .. but as a driver you SEE the curve road .. and assuming you have literally any experience or training you know to slow down when the road curves tighter. You drive, follow the signs. You don't critique the design .. much .. unless obviously an idiot designed the interchange lanes. Just saying .. the driver .. he or she drives. You follow the road. You follow the signs. At some later time .. possibly .. when you stop at a fast food joint near the interchange you MAY look at it and tell your partner . "That is a Clover Leaf type ..." ... but NOT .. when you are driving. Should not matter in the least .. not to the driver. Let the passengers look and geek out. The driver .. simply .. drives.
When you're driving one of these, just avoid thinking you're James Bond, the Fall Guy, or in NASCAR, and you should be OK... going flow of traffic...🚗🏍️🚐
