The Minneapolis Skyway System is the largest in the world covering over 69 city blocks (11 miles) which allows you to live, work, shop, dine, bar hop, attend sporting events & concerts year round; you never have to go outside, unless you want to.

the most hellish place on earth, the magic roundabout, Swindon UK

#88 to #10 - malcolmcz (09/12/2015) [-]

what in the hell is this ?!

#94 to #88 - KillinTime (09/12/2015) [-]

basically 5 roundabouts did a fusion and became one ultra giga roundabout.

#90 to #10 - anon (09/12/2015) [-]

See Swindon mentioned, swell with fukin pride m8

side note, it was partially because of the magic roundabout and its similarity to the teacup ride that Swindon is partnered with disney world

#64 to #10 - gragasvlad ONLINE (09/12/2015) [-]

I don't think that you can still count that abomination as a roundabout

+19

#13 to #10 - letmethink ONLINE (09/11/2015) [-]

If I saw something like that I would instantly give up, park my car on the grass and walk the rest of my trip. However, I have my driving license for less than a year now and I barely drive (no need to), so it could be because of that.

#22 to #13 - mollike (09/11/2015) [-]

It's actually quite simple to understand

+21

#27 to #22 - letmethink ONLINE (09/11/2015) [-]

Understanding is not the problem. I understand how it works and how I should drive. Dealing with the situation and others is what counts (and that's the part I would freak out about). Like I said, I have my license, just not a lot of experience with driving on my own.

#53 to #22 - comradewinter (09/12/2015) [-]

From an overhead angle with no cars, all the time in the world to think, and no pressure? Maybe. Actually sitting inside a vehicle and having traffic around you? Difficult.

#98 to #53 - mollike (09/12/2015) [-]

well I am sorry you haven't been on a roundabout

#99 to #98 - comradewinter (09/12/2015) [-]

It has multiple roundabouts within the roundabout. And you don't even see if it's a roundabout from the driver's perspective.

-1

#100 to #99 - mollike (09/12/2015) [-]

sorry traffic is easy for me then

-2

#58 to #53 - anon (09/12/2015) [-]

lads I had to take the class 2 exam there..It is quite simple because there are only 4 four exits to use (one is a dead end) you simply have to stay in the middle lane till the end and then go on the right lane for the exit

#60 to #58 - comradewinter (09/12/2015) [-]

You're assuming you already know the layout of the system, which a driver won't upon approaching it.

I would freak the **** out

#95 to #1 - xikato (09/12/2015) [-]

i drove under one of those in the netherlands while there was a plane above us.
****** terrifying

#72 to #1 - listerthepessimist (09/12/2015) [-]

it could be worse

#4 to #1 - randombro (09/11/2015) [-]

I'm right there with you. It REALLY doesn't seem like that bridge would be able to support a plane of that size.

I ******* love that game.

#54 to #50 - saxmo (09/12/2015) [-]

You picked the right side i hope?

#73 to #54 - iamhereforthestory (09/12/2015) [-]

You are the only right side.

#28 - thetrapkiller (09/12/2015) [-]

I ship this

#67 to #28 - tigermisu (09/12/2015) [-]

How do they load and unload those? Do they use a special shipping ship crane?

#101 to #67 - justleaving (09/12/2015) [-]

maybe flodd them? like fill with water so the barge sinks below waterlevel and they can sail off?

#93 to #67 - thetrapkiller (09/12/2015) [-]

no they use desu

Don't forget the "Three gorges dam" in China It's 2.3 km long, 27 million cubic tonnes of concrete, 463,000 tonnes of steel (enough to build 63 eiffel towers),it took over 40 000 workers 17 years to build and it produces twice as much power as all nuclear powerplants in Britain put together

#19 to #18 - jonto (09/11/2015) [-]

should probably have mentioned (so it is more relevant i guess) that it has sluices for boat traffic and an elevator for boats that takes them 600 feet up top or down.

#45 to #18 - imnotawesome (09/12/2015) [-]

it's also so big that the mass of the water behind the dam has caused the rotation of the earth to slow.

#66 to #45 - lotengo (09/12/2015) [-]

sounds cool, source?

#91 to #45 - rejakted (09/12/2015) [-]

Yeah, I need citation for this too.

The first one is false. Calgary, Canada has the largest indoor walkway system in the world, with currently over 20 km.

#44 to #42 - immatakeaduty (09/12/2015) [-]

minne has slated 7 additional miles for the next three years, connecting MOA to a few neighboring businesses, in addition to the new MOA addition, i'm sure we'll trump you again, neighbor.

#26 - hazelnutqt ONLINE (09/11/2015) [-]

Ahh yes, since we are a desert state, let us make our airport one giant greenhouse!

I am aware that it doesn't work like that

#5 - badsamaritan (09/11/2015) [-]

Houston Mentioned swell with constant expansions which end up being useless.
Also could we of just installed a monorail instead of that ugly ass metro rail which takes up a driving lane?? No one uses public transportation outside of Downtown and the Med center anyway.

#7 to #5 - anon (09/11/2015) [-]

useless like the widening of I-45 which is just causing more traffic then it will probably help

#9 to #5 - historybuff ONLINE (09/11/2015) [-]

I remember the few times I've been to Houston. I hated it every single ******* time. Houston is so disgusting and ugly. Growing up I thought Dallas (where I'm from) was bad, but it has nothing on the urban sprawl that is Houston.

Y'all need to tighten your zoning laws

#12 to #9 - badsamaritan (09/11/2015) [-]

Weird I always thought the opposite

#38 to #5 - nomsergirl (09/12/2015) [-]

i love when Houston is mentioned.
that high way is scary though.

>Minneapolis Skyway
Yet our tram system, sucks worse then the smell of the mississippi river.

#56 to #39 - IamWhoIam (09/12/2015) [-]

God the light rail is just awful to deal with whenever I drive Downtown, or whenever I drive near University. I will outright avoid those areas when I'm driving. It is useful to get into the city if you don't want to drive all the way in from the South Metro which is where I live in the summer.

Also homeless people populate the Skyway in the winter.

#40 to #39 - anon (09/12/2015) [-]

They keep building the transit in retarded places.

#11 - sparkyfetchest (09/11/2015) [-]

To be standing on that beach as it passes by must be amazing.

#2 - sorenlolz (09/11/2015) [-]

The Minneapolis skyway still sucks because everything is always closed.

#6 to #2 - anon (09/11/2015) [-]

Tell me about it. I'd take Metro Transit finally making a train system worth **** over it any day.

#65 - klutzyspy (09/12/2015) [-]

You can see the back of Hoover dam right now if you go there.. Hardly any water in Cali

#63 - indigoblood (09/12/2015) [-]

TFW you use this juncture everyday going to and from work/school. This thing helped traffic so much when they completed it.

#78 to #63 - zerotzallander (09/12/2015) [-]

It looks cool as well!

#103 to #78 - indigoblood (09/13/2015) [-]

Tis super fun to go around

**** the Katy Freeway.
