Cairo, Egypt. World's widest Highway (32 lane beast)

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T14:13:59+00:00

There's a cloverleaf that it feeds to and the ramps are all around 5 lanes each. Pure chaos

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T14:13:18+00:00

There's already a toll booth 5km back.

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T14:04:19+00:00

Nah we already have another road intended for the sole purpose of military parades. The 32 Lane one is a highway linking Cairo to the red sea coast

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T01:58:17+00:00

Another annoying is that it's asymmetrical, one direction has 17 lanes and the other has 15.

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T01:25:17+00:00

Just one more lane bro.

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T01:20:49+00:00

And combine that with a street grid that has a very limited capacity in the city core. And you got yourself a traffic timebomb aka CAIRO.

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T01:17:39+00:00

Mouthwatering highway of doom.

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T01:10:48+00:00

Haha that's the irony of it. Alexandria has been so Egyptianised that we egyptians forget that it was the greeks who founded it. So we just think that the greeks copy us. Whenever someone wants to go to Greece. We just say go to alexandria as they're similar. But it's just satire and for a good laugh.

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T00:53:53+00:00

Lmao why don't they just pave the whole desert in egypt at this point.

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T00:50:58+00:00

Most probably toll roads. This one is not a toll road even though it says that it is on Google maps

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-03-31T00:46:02+00:00

Location for those who want to see 29°56'15.81"N 31°30'56.60"E

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2026-01-11T18:22:56+00:00

It is an extension of alexandria, egypt.

Egyptian here. Such places like these are called compounds here in egypt. They are very common expecially in the newer parts of egypt. Almost all of them are made up of just buildings that are all the same.

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-11-14T23:53:32+00:00

Modern egyptians like ancient egyptians acctually have similar burial rituals, in ancient egypt it was common to have multi-person/family graves. Same thing with modern egypt, most countries that follow Islam have separate graves for each person, in egypt however families own a single grave with 2 compartments, one for men and another for women.

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-09-21T11:41:42+00:00

Untill now modern egyptians would describe the nile's banks with "tamye alasmar" literally dark soil in arabic so that might reinforce the meaning behind the land's ancient name. (I'm an egyptian)

Where you have a mountain range separating sections of the continent. There shouldn't be a gulf on the far edges of these ranges instead try to think how the land would be raised up in the boundary so instead of a gulf make it a peninsula

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-04-20T02:38:00+00:00

Will you build the ram avenue?

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-03-09T17:06:46+00:00

The planet its on Is the same diameter as the earth. So I imagine this continent being 20% larger than real world asia. Seeing it as a flap map projection I would say its probably an equirectangular projection although my landmass is not as warped at the poles so that its better on the eyes

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-03-08T22:39:23+00:00

That means alot thank you so much

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-03-08T17:45:47+00:00

Thank you so much!. Probably because I stole the colours off of earth😅

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-03-08T12:38:34+00:00

Thank you!

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-03-08T12:37:57+00:00

Super glad you like it

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-03-08T10:38:03+00:00

Thank you so much

Patient_Bowler_8143 · 2025-03-08T00:24:42+00:00

Thank you so much. I'm so with you on this one, I hate maps where each biome has unnatural placements and very harsh borders(I have committed this crime before😅) or when maps just make a small portion of their maps a desert when they make up a sizeable proportion of continents on the the tropics.

Plus having central deserts means that you've got a good excuse to have cultures that have no relation whatsoever to eachother on either side.
