I view excessive highway development as un-American, myself, or not typically American.

I'd argue that America ended up developing a much deeper car-centric focus, but the Europeans ended up with the better maintained and somewhat better designed roads* with higher speed limits.

Sadly, Germany is the only country where you can legally drive faster than the trains.

*My preference as a roadgeek is for Northeast style roads with wide forested medians, then the narrow medians with Jersey barriers like on many urban expressways or some Turnpikes and European motorways, and then wide, but grassy medians.
