My city is full of these Cloverleaf interchanges where cars exiting the freeway are merging into high speed traffic.

So I get to pedal down this road and get sandwiched between buses/trucks on the left and merging cars on the right. Legitimately the worst part of my commute where I might actually die. Fun!

I wish, for once, that city planners used the infrastructure that they built. Maybe then would they realize how silly/dangerous/insane some of these design decisions are.

It's hard to get a new cyclist to use a route like that, which puts someone back in their car.
