The operation to have its tubes tied (Misdirectomy?) resulted in it becoming the imMobile Tunnel.

It's named the Mobile Tunnel. Mobile is an antonym for moved. Antonym means a word that is nearly the same as another.

To go anywhere, you have to make forward progress, and you won't get that from a tunnel named after George Wallace.

What is a road diet?

Combinations of pavement roughness and traffic control devices that induce hard braking by heavy vehicles, thus allowing the road to eat the rubber off the tires. This is commonly achieved with signalized intersections on high speed divided highways, though frequently congested areas also serve as examples

Quote from: I-55 on April 13, 2025, 09:39:41 PMThe correct question is "if ARDOT hasn't signed it, why does Google show it?" and the answer as usual is "because Google Maps signs stuff incorrectly all the time"

What is a road diet?

Burgers, burritos, chicken nuggets.  Any food item you can hold with one hand while steering with the other, and no utensils.  No vegetables other than french fries and onion rings.

This is supposed to be 'worst possible answer', not 'best'.

More like meatball subs and noodle soup.
