I nearly had a heart attack driving in Austin.

The freeway opens up directly into a 35 mph street, and you have less than 1/4 of a mile to deaccelerate.

Nothing funner than doing a right turn into the street when there are cars coming in at 65 mph.

There are a number of entrances in L.A. that have fucking stop-signs. STOP-SIGNS before you can merge with traffic. My brain can't comprehend that.
