7/31/2025: Why is A-20 a boulevard between A-30 and Montréal?
Because I made it one  :bigass: I dug a hole and fell in it creating a massive storm of bricks that formed into a massive boulevard. I realized it was there, I wanted it to go to Saint Louis du Ha! Ha! instead, but it ended up on its current route.

I'm sorry I had to get that info out there.

Because it's easier to stop to get poutine after midnight at the Tim Horton's on Blvd. Cardinal Léger if you don't have to exit the Autoroute freeway.

Truly a godawful answer considering Tim Horton's doesn't sell poutine.

Because roadgeeks take it hard when they drive on that segment. They look at life with such disregard.

As I said, it was the rotisserie chicken cartel, not Tim Horton's.  And besides, Cardinal Léger is the only freeway exit on the whole island, so his answer obviously doesn't even make sense.

The junction of I-95, I-395, and the Capital Beltway in Virginia should be converted to a Swindon-style Magic Roundabout (though on a larger scale) instead of its current configuration.

In addition, webcams and bleachers should be set up, with the latter exempted from any laws prohibiting public consumption of alcohol, to allow everyone to watch what happens when the new Magic Roundabout opens.
