I hate city congested with cars and lots AF of cars.

The road infrastructure in my city is in a deplorable state. Today, while on my way home, a wrong turn at a confusing intersection resulted in an additional hour of driving on what should have been a 2-hour journey. To compound matters, I had to pay tolls at multiple plazas.
Ever since the 90s majority of develope city road infrastructure appears to have been designed without prioritizing efficiency in transportation. Instead of enhancing accessibility, the construction involved blocking existing roads and imposing tolls on a newly laid charge highway. The implementation seems driven by private corporate interests focused on profit rather than prioritizing the convenience of road users, compelling them to pay for longer journeys and navigate a less user-friendly system.

Above picture is typical one of multi junction in my city kuala lumpur as you see the car just aiming to move toward four directions but with complex highway road slapping on top each other then merge together on other end, over yeas the escalating number of cars has led the government to continuously add new highways,play apon the name to alleviate traffic congestion and allow more private company to build more highway and collect charges.For decade of traffic problem persists, prompting the addition of even more roads.

If I'm driving and approaching from the bottom left in the picture, intending to turn left toward the top direction, I must navigate through five intersections in a precise sequence, all while maintaining a high speed. The aggressive driving culture in my country adds an extra layer of challenge, as a single mistake at the wrong intersection could result in a detour of 10 to 20 kilometers, along with multiple toll payments.
The city on above picture use to be my childhood neighbourhood,from building left side walk to shoplot on right side buy some ice-cream and hang around just two 5 minutes walking,but today with dozen of high speed way build in between as barrier to cross it you only can reach other side by driving car with estimate 35minutes congested traffic for 8km extra detour and you need take to head north side paid a tolls before take a u-turn and go back where to you want to go which is just two football field distace way.
