Your City/County road network

[CapeCodder]

How would you rate your local road-net? When I lived in St. Louis, I thought it was somewhat decent. All of the main arterial routes in the city follow the city limits as they curve northeastward in the north end (moreso there than in the south end of the city) There's one major road in North County that goes to the MO River (New Halls Ferry Road, or Hwy AC, which leads me to ask where exactly does AC begin and end because I swear I saw an AC shield in the Baden neighborhood many years ago. )

As for Cape Cod: Falmouth at least has a decent network of arterial roads, but Barnstable has them beat.

Orlando has a good freeway network minus I-4 of course.  Its arterials stink as we have too many traffic lights otherwise.

International Drive notwithstanding. IIRC, I-Drive was a constant parking lot with everyone and their brother going to the outlet malls+ Wet N' Wild.

Norman has the problem of two major areas on the same line of longitude that in most cases you will want to avoid for fast travel (downtown and the OU campus). This means that crosstown traffic must either use SH-9 or Robinson Street, since Lindsey, which is mostly a joke west of Classen, hits OU, and Main/Alameda hit downtown (and the resulting Main/Gray one-way pair). This would not be too bad if both SH-9 and Robinson weren't infested with stoplights. If SH-9 were a freeway, Norman would be a lot more livable since it would take most of the traffic off the east-west streets.

Another problem is a lack of north-south arterials. Between 24th Avenue W and Porter/Classen (2.2 miles along Robinson), there are no four-lane north-south arterials south of Robinson. The only arterials are Berry (1.2 mi east of 24th) and Flood, both of which are two lanes and carry a speed limit in the neighborhood of 30. Neither of these continue all that much south of Lindsey, either; they both peter out at Imhoff, if I remember correctly, which is a similar two-lane road.
