Cross sections

Here’s a road cross section in Los Angeles.

Nothing special about that.
That’s exactly how we’ve always seen it and how we’ve always imagined those kind of things in the middle of american cities: dreadful and inhuman!


Here’s one of the busiest cross sections in France.

The "Roquencourt triangle" where the whole Western Paris suburb gather (coming South) every morning and evening to commute to and from Paris (going East) or Normandy (going West) for some nice times by the sea.
That remains inhuman when you’re stuck every day like an ant at the exit of the colony but it’s not as dreadful and in the middle of the city as it is over the Atlantic.


Well here’s a cross section in the city of Minden, Germany.

Yes! We have sometimes canals going over others through some water bridges but the Germans are probably the only one the world to have come up with canal cross sections where boats can go for canals to canals in one very place.

That's brillant. Just brillant! ^^

Tu devrais tenter de voir un carrefour sur le périph de lyon, à mon avis, ça doit etre pas mal en bordel aussi.
