  • Malfunction Junction (I-275 and I-4, Tampa, FL)
  • The Riddle in the Middle (Alaska Way, Seattle, WA)
  • Spaghetti Junction (I-85 and I-285, Atlanta, GA)

I’ve also started calling a strech of Columbia Parkway (Cincinnati, OH) “The Suicide Side”, which is a 45 MPH arterial that everyone goes 60 MPH.  The divider is a double-yellow line… only.

Got any more?  Add ‘em in the comments.
