Don't get me wrong, a truly like muli-lane limited access roads. We just call them "Interstates" here because that's about the only ones we have. Most of the Californians call them "freeways" and put a "the" on whatever number they're talking about. Other regions maybe call them something differently ("parkway" is one I've run across). But one of the problems with such a highway set-up with limited access is once you're committed, there isn't a way to get off until the next exit. Put that in a place such as "Cajon Pass" in rugged and non-populated places and its a good recipe for bad things. Fast highways with lots of potential entries and exits probably are probably more dangerous year-in, year-out for general traffic tragedies but perhaps a person doesn't get that feeling of being trapped and left to what's happening on the road. Maybe its just me...
