Somewhat blah/interesting (I can't make up my mind) short about roads. The film starts with how roads came to be, and the history of the highway (joy!). Soon, the film discusses the problems of traffic, and what needs to be done (cloverleafs, tunnels bridges). All these solutions, and what do we have?..... more traffic ;)
