At one time, I would have complained about the fact that Miami had degraded to the point where the most interesting cultural event it ever had was the opening of a new shopping mall. Well, apparently we're in another boring stretch here, as Coral Gables just had a big unveiling for a cruddy traffic circleWow. We're now celebrating the installation

I've seen the over/under thing done a few places, mainly up in Broward County. It does speed up through traffic at major intersections... but it creates dangerous weird blind ramps and confusing approaches, not to mention blocking all access to whatever may have at one time been constructed next to the roadway that goes up and over.. unless you build a frontage road... which makes it even more...

That's it, we just need to get people back onto their feet and onto mass transit. :P

It's particularly bad when a train with dynamic braking via resistor grid gets crap in the resistors (plastic bags and newspaper are quite bad about it). Decelerate, catch fire.
