gollark: WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG
gollark: Actually, have lots of ultrafast collector/express setup highways, but every few blocks or whatever they get funneled through a single dirt road.
gollark: I like to design my serious road network things as one-way hexagon grids with highway uplinks.
gollark: "You want to get to your neighbour's house? You have to loop around the entire city on dirt paths, pay $1000 in tolls, and spend 5 hours in traffic jams."
gollark: I should play again and design the worst road network possible.
