Looks like it takes up a lot of space, unlike the most of the US and Canada, where I live the roads are all small, a large road is two lanes with room for parking on one side, so I guess it could be called 3 lanes.

To build these intersections you would need to tear down many buildings/houses. So I doubt I will ever see that where I live.

I remember years ago, I once visiting a place in the middle of the country, I could no believe how wide just regular roads were, some were 3 lanes on each side. To me, that is a highway, but it was in a residential area.

Plus those roads were very dangerous for walking and bicycling. It made me feel way insecure for driving.

I will take my narrow, winding, intersections were multiple streets meet at all different angles instead of these square wide grid roads any day :)
