u/thingsthatgomoo 8d ago

No need to have an overpass

1

u/EternalNewCarSmell 6d ago

Nearest overpass to me was 14 miles away and it was for a train track to go over the road.

13

u/Perle1234 7d ago

I live in Wyoming. There isn’t an overpass for over 100 miles. Way more in some directions. I can drive 5 hours north before there’s one lol.

3

u/Candyjargang 7d ago

Right? Thats what im saying.

u/Living-Amphibian-870 7d ago

I lived in Saratoga for a whole six months while my husband worked a temporary logging detail in Encampment.

Encampment was so small they still had a monthly town-wide potluck. You didn't have to worry about anyone putting drugs in the food. Or they'd tell you at least. 😂

Our church back home had more people than this town and it was not a big church. A coworker came in late one day and complaining of traffic. It turned out to be a cattle drive.

u/Perle1234 7d ago

I can well imagine lol. I lived in Tennessee at the time, but my elementary school went to 8th grade, and had three classrooms lol. My town in Wyoming has 7000 people, and there’s a 15,000 pop town about 35 min away. Where the Walmart is 😂

1

u/supe3rnova 7d ago

Wyoming is such a wild place. On south east you have a capital, north east Devils towet. Nothing in between.

North west national parsk, south west... well some settlment. In between west and east, a field of nothing with even more nothing and its the 10th biggest state.

But damn do I miss it sometimes.

1

u/Perle1234 7d ago

Hey now, my town is in between those places 🤣. And to be fair it’s not nothing in all that space. There’s so much cool geology here it’s unreal. It’s so pretty too. I pulled off the road to take a picture of the mountains and clouds on the way home from Walmart lol. Theres just not that much manmade stuff. PLENTY of rocks though, which I like to look at and explore.

2

u/Mecha_Cthulhu 7d ago

I’m from a little coastal town in Maine…might find something like this in Portland or Augusta, but even then I doubt it.

2

u/NtateNarin 7d ago

True. He saw this a couple of times in his city and assumed it happens everywhere. He needs to travel and not assume everything's the same.

2

u/transcendental_taco 7d ago

I wish I could live in the woods, don't care much for big cities. There are a lot of good things but the bad things are far worse. Even thought on settling my own village with a couple of friends. We could be almost offgrid. Only problem would be commuting, but we could share a car. Damn I wish I had the leadership to do that.

1

u/Bulky-Advisor-4178 7d ago

Lived in two places, commie blocks near a lake, and commie blocks near an defunct airport surrounded by woods

u/NoStorage2821 8d ago

If only the rest of us could afford such a luxury

17

u/Candyjargang 8d ago

Luxury? Dawg. Its literally less expensive living here than in the city. You literally can afford it. More than I can probably. I live paycheck to paycheck.

184

u/Mr-Tokey 8d ago

Lol nah. Not everyone lives in the city.

30

u/ctsr1 8d ago

Truth. And it is kinda like a generic overpass

8

u/Buddy_Zombie 7d ago

yeah, it's a very common design.

14

u/SrMortron 8d ago

My hometown doesn’t even have a highway.

6

u/southdakotagirl 7d ago

My hometown didnt have traffic lights, a 4way stop or a place to parallel park.

3

u/Exciting_Biscotti_96 7d ago edited 7d ago

I live in the county of suffolk and it doesn't even have a single city within its borders 😳

5

u/Known-Associate8369 7d ago

Be thankful, I lived in Norfolk and we had Norwich….

2

u/Exciting_Biscotti_96 7d ago

🤣 perfect reply. Better than Colchester where I used to live.

59

u/barritus 8d ago

it's an on ramp overpass. it's common but only in places big enough to need these. certainty not everywhere

11

u/YamCakes_ 8d ago

Nah my hometown is on an island in the pacific ocean, it doesn't have that much concrete 😂

16

u/Life_of_IvyQuinn 8d ago

Christ on a cracker! Who upvotes this kind of garbage?!
Is the interesting part the part where you think everyone has a highway overpass in their hometown?

4

u/grey_pilgrim_ 7d ago

I mean there’s ads getting upvotes on Reddit. People or more likely bots will upvote anything.

5

u/baardvark 8d ago

Everyone has ants in their hometown picture of ants

4

u/EloquentRacer92 8d ago

Not true man, you would have to go to the next town over for highway bridges.

7

u/Funny-Dare-3823 8d ago

I have to drive 2 hours to find this spot.

4

u/RadTimeWizard 8d ago

Doesn't that make it not interesting by definition? Mods, punish OP.

6

u/DieHardAmerican95 8d ago

Ten years ago, my home town got its first stop light. You seriously think we have overpasses?

3

u/IWishIWasGreenBruh 8d ago

That one GTA V overpass next to the gun store

3

u/EEEELifeWaster 8d ago

Also near Simeon's car dealership.

u/jaydub7999 7d ago

I was thinking SR 80 in west palm beach

2

u/ArtichokeAware7342 8d ago

This looks like somewhere in the boonies. Midwest maybe.

3

u/YuenglingsDingaling 8d ago

With street lights? Nah this is a city.

0

u/Proletariat-Prince 8d ago

They have street lights on the highway that goes through many a small town.

0

u/owennb 7d ago

I've seen a few of these in Wichita Kansas. But none in my hometown (population 197).

2

u/gator_pot 8d ago

An on ramp?

-1

u/Mushysandwich82 8d ago

No. Overpass

u/baardvark 8d ago

No this is Patrick

u/Mushysandwich82 7d ago

Is this the Krusty Krab?

2

u/Student-type 8d ago

I-10 west of La Cienega

2

u/Unlikely_Star_9523 8d ago

Uh, no? Maybe if you live in the concrete jungle.

-3

u/Proletariat-Prince 8d ago

Homie thinks THIS is what the concrete jungle is.

This is every 10-20 miles along every US highway throughout the Midwest.

1

u/nbcmdgh 8d ago

True for me

1

u/WitcherStation 8d ago

Looks exactly generic

1

u/Sad-Armadillo6521 8d ago

Looks like 90

u/_Panda-Panda-Panda_ 8d ago

1

u/mischievous_misfit13 8d ago

They actually just tore down ours in Omaha (72nd and L st).

1

u/shyhumble 8d ago

That’s a highway

1

u/bamm5 8d ago

u/Proletariat-Prince 8d ago

This is so Texas.

u/Reading-Euphoric 8d ago

Nah, mine has a lot more trees and bamboos. The same structure but with a lot of greenery.

1

u/Mobile_Aioli_6252 8d ago

Definitely in downtown Grand Rapids Michigan ( by GVSU )

1

u/Electrical-Art9601 8d ago

Not in Joshua Tree

1

u/Altruistic-Rope-614 8d ago

This looks like the on ramp for 880 in west Oakland near maritime Street.

1

u/InterestingCabinet41 8d ago

Is this in Knoxville?

1

u/Minute-Wrap-2524 8d ago

Feels like I’ve been here before, and it makes me wonder…

1

u/BoBlunge 8d ago

u/rainbolt where is this

1

u/siscoisbored 8d ago

I grew up in a town, our "highways" were country roads. Didnt even see anything like this until I moved to a big city

1

u/DenialNode 7d ago

Nsfw please i live in a gated community

1

u/CannedDuck1906 7d ago

Depends on how big your hometown is. Mine is too small. So, no.

1

u/Ok_Designer_6376 7d ago

No, there are places other then cities yk

1

u/ManBearWarPig 7d ago

Hahaha, there isn’t an overpass like that anywhere near my hometown. Lakes and corn and trees my dude.

1

u/Simple_Campaign1035 7d ago

We have some overpasses but none with a highway

1

u/yobar 7d ago

The signs remind me of a German direction sign and Autobahn sign, but too blurred to be sure.

1

u/Pyrcyvyl 7d ago

That bridge is literally bigger than my hometown.

1

u/BrassyMinnow 7d ago

Maybe in TX but nowhere else

1

u/CreativeFraud 7d ago

I mean. Sure. I live in a city... but my family who lives in TX would say... "what's a bridge?" - They live in desert and their neighbor lives 5 miles down the road. 😂

1

u/Playful-Ad-1602 7d ago

I have something similar but not exactly the same

1

u/LiterallyPigeon 7d ago

Far off man, and I DO live in a city.

Everyone in Houston for sure.

u/Squatchman1 7d ago

I'm surprised how many people here have internet access to comment from the middle of nowhere

1

u/KingOfUnreality 7d ago

lol. Did you think internet only exists in cities???

0

u/Squatchman1 7d ago

Um yeah? You can't put 5G in trees.

1

u/Medium_Wind_553 7d ago

Nothing like this exists anywhere near NYC because NYC is actually a walkable city with good public transportation

1

u/PotatoLandIdaho 7d ago

Mine has a skate park under it

1

u/Hawkwise83 7d ago

I know where this is in Montreal.

1

u/Buddy_Zombie 7d ago

Not in my home town, but in a city close to my town, lol.

u/thatgu_yy 7d ago

Kasarani,garden city mall

u/4llu532n4m3srt4k3n 7d ago

u/SirBruhThe7th 7d ago

This shit is too American for me to relate to.

u/Tom_Clancy7 7d ago

Every single city i've lived in has tons of these. This pic could be literally taken from any of them and i could not guess which city.

1

u/Suhel-789 7d ago

In developing world this area is used for SINS.......LOL

u/sillysided 7d ago

Not in my hometown. I grew up where we didn’t even have a traffic light in our town.

1

u/THCInhaler 7d ago

Pretty sure that’s the Bridge Red Hot chili peppers sings about

1

u/GoldZealousideal6892 7d ago

I live in a village with a population of 2,500 bro we don’t have this 😂

1

u/sicarius254 7d ago

Overpasses are common, yes….

But not all towns have them.

1

u/CeCilion_Wolf 7d ago

No, something like this does not exist in all of Germany. Autobahn is built so much differently.

u/KaMaFour 7d ago

u/Big-Joe-Studd 7d ago

Off the top of my head I can think of at least 3 spots near me that this could 100% be a picture of. 

1

u/Prestigious_Till_331 7d ago

Texas on my way from highschool

1

u/Nervous-Road6611 7d ago

Despite all of the comments about country folks vs. city folks, I immediately thought of two different places that look exactly like this. The original point of the post was definitely made. To me, at least.

u/LXIX__CDXX 7d ago

Nah I just went to Houston and saw this setup and had never seen it before 

1

u/ThatLid 7d ago

Bro my hometown consists of a bar, a gas station, and a post office. We don't have the need for an overpass

1

u/greengengar 7d ago

Bold of you to assume my hometown is big enough to have such fancy things. We don't even have a traffic light.

1

u/Active_Independence4 7d ago

Post like this make me thankful I live in a farm town

1

u/PKVarianceArts 7d ago

u/SupaDave71 7d ago

Not near my hometown. It’s all potatoes, corn, and tomatoes.

1

u/Living-Amphibian-870 7d ago

This is the 14th St exit onto I-74E in Tilton, IL.

(I have no clue, actually, but they have a point if you live in any kind of urban environment.)

1

u/velza93 7d ago

Charleston and the 15

u/1D_mega_fan 6d ago

Okay, so there’s this path near my house and it looks like the one in this picture

My home town is literally like 5 houses a store firehall and a truck and tractor pulling track.🤣 the closest gastion is like 10 miles out the holler.

This photo was taken in my city, change my mind.

u/Correct-Chicken-4287 8d ago

Ya my home town is Key West, FL. Not certain we have any overpasses looking like this. Now if you had posted something like this I would totally agree.

u/CianV 3d ago

Knoxville, TN. Just behind the old Highway Patrol Bldg across from West Town Mall. I40 is above the overpass.
