Do you also design red lights and timings of red lights? If so, why the Christ can't every city be designed so that, if you travel the speed limit on major roads, you hit only green lights (like in Anchorage) as opposed to hitting every single goddamn red light (like in St. Louis)? Are all the pictures roads you've designed, or are they a representative sample? Do you have a favorite "style" (for lack of a better word) when it comes to designing highways? Do you prefer all straight lines, such as the last picture in the OP, or all curvy circular roads like the other picture? Do you have a favorite specific city or area you've designed? Do you deal with construction companies? What happens when a construction company has a terrible terrible reputation - for instance they take three times longer than another other company - but somehow keeps winning the low bids? Do you all grumble about it? In other words, would you analogize construction companies and roads to, say, hamburgers and Morton's vs McDonald's? What are the best ways to start a career in this line of work? Do you ever work with other urban planners to design highways that conveniently service certain areas, or is it all about traffic control? Speaking of which, what are several factors you take into consideration when designing a highway?
