>>1369492Japanese expressways are nowhere near as wide and hold nowhere near as much capacity as US freeways. Even in the photo you've posted, the urban """freeway""" has no hard shoulder and is at most 3 lanes wide.
All that and I didn't mention the sheer density of Japanese urban areas compared to American urban areas. Stop perpetuating the myth that what works in Japan (1/3 the US population, 2/5 the land area) will also work in the US.
