Trust me, it's not that interesting of a freeway.

Now, if you mean something like the Pasadena Freeway, aka Arroyo Seco Parkway, in Los Angeles, now you're talking. It dates to 1940, was an alignment of Route 66, and contains architectural touches you don't see anymore.

I agree!  Learned how to drive on that freeway when I was a teenager.

Riverside is about the only interesting road left in Tulsa.  Or Broken Arrow, for that matter.

Just keep waiting for city hall idiots to put a stop light somewhere down there.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

What on Riverside?  I can count 7 off the top my head (stop lights).  Denver/Riverside, 41st, I-44, 61st, 71st, 81st, 91st.

Denver to 51st (I-44) used to be clear.  Did they add one at 41st??  Yuck.  Been a (long) while since I was there - will go this weekend.

the one at 41st has been the Pre Quik Trip park.

Looks like they also have one at 31st I forgot about.

So it runs like this...

Denver.
31st
41st
I-44
61st/Peoria
71st
81st (right by the casino)
Not sure any further past that...

There's also a light at Peoria. 61st is a different light. Plus there's the new one on the south side of the casino between 81st and 91st.

Thanks, that reminds me of driving in the LA area, especially the 405 from Newport to Hollywood and the gridlock around LAX on the 405. And it reminds me of driving from San Jose into Daly City and then through the Presidio on the 1 to go across the Golden Gate to Sausildo and Marin county. So much of the LA County area looks like this. The one area that I avoid driving into LA from Phoenix on I-10 is the Ontario/Fontana area. Once you hit that are you are driving at 10mph max.
