[radoner]

I´ve heard that Caracas has one of the best freeway sistems in Latin America

[wiki]

cool freeways

[inthejungle]

Excellent post Occit, and yes... we have really good freeways but TOO many cars, we need better PT, altough we have a very good metro system too, but it needs to be improved...

So if you want a live image, (now in christmas it could be even late at night) just fill EVERY lane with cars as if those were parking lots :lol:

[ChrisZwolle]

I´ve heard that Caracas has one of the best freeway sistems in Latin America

Buenos Aires and Santiago freeway systems are very good too. Size doesn't say everything.

[SkyLerm]

Nice aerials man ;)

[Narcisse]

Looks good! :)

[radoner]

Buenos Aires and Santiago freeway systems are very good too. Size doesn't say everything.

I didn´t mention it was the best, I was generalizing by saying it is one of the best, and I agree with you in one point, Santiago and B Aires also have exellent freways but this thread is about Caracas

[ch'i]

This is a great thread, Occit!

[G.N]

wow looks impressive

[samsonyuen]

Cool. Was a lot of this infrastructure paid for by oil money?

[cidofsc]

yes cCs have a good freeway system anyway as a city always have to get better

[xndio]

Very Cool!! caracas has one of the most incredible freeways as Latin american and all the world.

Nice. Especially Caracas, but the majority of the other pics aren´t motorways, but just high capacity roads.

[Occit]

Nice. Especially Caracas, but the majority of the other pics aren´t motorways, but just high capacity roads.

Could i use the term "Expressway" to including all categories?? :dunno:

[KIWIKAAS]

Love this type of highway.

I thnk New Zealand should have more of this type of highway too

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb261/chosebus/DSC05332.jpg

[ChrisZwolle]

Such highways are banned in the Netherlands. Too unsafe, they say. However, i like this kind of road. A wide asphalt median, but i wonder why it isn't a full motorway with crash barriers. It doesn't take more space up than now.

[KIWIKAAS]

Maybe there's no barrier because side roads and driveways intersect?
In that case its a nice wide median for turning traffic.
Occit might know?

[Bori427]

They're ok imo

[Occit]

Could be a possibility but i really don't know. :?

[Alex Von Königsberg]

In California, there are quite a few of such 4-lane roads, and some of them even have a speed limit of 105 km/h. I don't like them for the very reason they are banned in NL - it feels too unsafe to drive there. However, this type of road doesn't last too long - maybe 10-15 km stretches and then they either become full motorways or narrow down to 2-lane roads.

[kulani]

Nice highways, good to see that the petro dollars are going into infrastructure.
your president is a very interesting man with some interesting opinions especially as far as the western powers is concerned. :)

[hornnieguy]

Very nice.

Well engineered and well built.

I would only add fences to keep the cattle out in the rural highways.

Caracas freeway systems is fabulous.... a tropical Los Angeles.

[AUchamps]

WTF??? all this highways/expressways were built before Chavez...!!! :mad: i hate Chavez... :mad:
Don't worry, there's a lot of ppl outside your country that see what Chavez has done to your country. It's clear that you can draw a line in the sand and see what your country looked like before he was elected, and what it looks like afterward.

Sooner then later, RCTV and other stations shall return to the air(not just on cable either).
