  San Francisco's Freeway Plan
The Southern Crossing here was examined in detail in a 1956 study; the Oakland side would have had two approaches, one through Alameda and one along Doolittle to the I-880/Hegenberger interchange.[1] A late 1940s plan discussed adding a parallel Bay Bridge span, as well as a Southern Crossing bridge/tunnel.
I-280 was originally to follow the Junipero Serra and Park Presidio freeways toward the Golden Gate Bridge; a junction with an extended I-80 was deleted in the mid-1950s.
The Southern Freeway routing to I-80 at the Bay Bridge was adopted in 1961.

 NJ 38 Freeway (unbuilt)
One of the freeways recommended by state officials was to run from Interstate 676 (then proposed as Interstate 80S) in Camden east to the NJ 18 Freeway (then proposed as the NJ 35 Freeway) in Wall Township, Monmouth County.
In 1965, the NJ 38 Freeway was adopted as part of the proposed "Central Jersey Expressway System," a network that was to serve the central and southern parts of the state.
At its western terminus in Mount Laurel Township, Burlington County, the NJ 38 Freeway was to provide connections to the New Jersey Turnpike and the proposed NJ 90 Freeway extension.

 Highway Robbery
The 126 Freeway was under construction to connect Ventura with Valencia.
Today, Southern Californians are living with the result: a bankrupt mass transit system used by an infinitesimal percentage of commuters and a strangled highway system choked with motorists virtually around the clock.
Bringing Southern California highways back to capacity would be the environmental equivalent of removing half the automobiles from the roads during rush hours (for nitrogen oxides), and removing five cars out of six (for carbon monoxide).

 Freeway Phobia, Southern California Style   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Although few phobic drivers have actually had life-threatening lapses of control, gone psychotic, or been injured on the road, once their anxiety is triggered they develop acute fears of madness, bodily injury, or death.
What actually occurs at such awful, phobic moments is typically that the motorist feels petrified, slows way down, drives with her right-turn signal on, exits the freeway ASAP, and drives home on city streets while calling for help on the cell phone.
Freeway phobia can be relieved or cured through self-help, therapy for anxiety disorders, and/or anti-anxiety medication.

 Guide to Sydney's Freeways
However, the freeway system does have many shortcomings, the most noticeable being that many of them are tolled.
Generally, the freeways start out in the outer suburbs, head somewhat towards the city, and then come to an unceremonious halt at a rather inconvenient location.
The reason many freeways in Sydney end like this is due to a rather short-sighted policy of the Federal Government in the early 1970's which forbade Federal road aid to urban freeways within a five mile radius of a metropolitan city centre.

 California @ WestCoastRoads - California 99
The Goshen crossing predated freeway development, as it upgraded the first wye-type intersections on either side of the original underpass with the parallel overpass plus trumpet-type interchanges on either side of the RR tracks; these were the only interchanges on what was otherwise a U.S. 99 expressway.
Also, short (about 1.5 miles) freeway section through McFarland (northern Kern County) was completed; this was done by replacing grade crossings of extant expressway with long bridges (which crossed adjacent SP tracks as well), with one diamond interchange at the south end of town.
Mid-1993: Ramps to "stub-end" of the California 180 freeway in Fresno opened; also, section between the north and south California 120 interchanges near Manteca was improved with slip lanes functioning both northbound and southbound as direct-connection lanes for California 120; this included widening of the California 99/California 120 overpass with shoulders and Jersey-barrier guardrails.

 The Treasure Island Experiment: Stories
California's Division of Highways was busy building freeways before Eisenhower presented his 1956 National System of Interstate and Defense Highways plan, which paved the way for billions of new federal dollars to subsidize the automobile in the name of national security.
No new freeways were built beyond the routing of Interstate 280 in the southeast, which continued the path of the Southern Freeway toward the Bay Bridge.
Further, there was no consideration to integrate freeway traffic into a larger transportation system, nor much thought given to building transportation systems that better fit in with their surroundings, nor much research and land use study to determine if laying miles of overhead concrete was even a worthy goal.
