   Waitaminit!  There is at least one on-ramp on I-35 in the downtown part
   that has _concrete_walls_ lining both sides of a 30-feet long car-width
   lane, and no white lines.  It woulda been a piece of cake if it was not
   for the concrete walls:  one to block your view and one to prevent you
   from merging gracefully.  W/o a doubt that on-ramp is one of the most
   idiotic pieces of civil engineering I have ever seen.  I shudder every
   I drive by that on-ramp.

   [ BTW, in general, I have found the roads down here to be excellent;
   and I shouldn't talk, coming from NYC  :-). ]
