They do work well, even the Katy Freeway is OK, but it also explains why they have no mass transit and their downtown is a ghost town after 5. Take their ring road example of how to at least flow traffic around the city at specific points, but leave the multitude of interstates out.

The freeways are unlike anything I have ever seen anywhere. You should see the new interchange theyre building at the beltway and katy fwy. When I was there earlier this year I asked why such a huge reconstruction project, my friend said, "they had to put the stars are all the columns"
