I’m not trying to be an ass here, seriously I’m not. I’m genuinely curious if you have lived in a town like DC, LA or Houston and have experienced that sort of traffic? I grew up in DC where it took me upwards of 45 minutes to commute 5 miles - for 9 years in a row. Can you describe what you mean by undriveable?

Probably because you have to drive through towns on those routes and it can get congested due to lots of signage, 25mph, pedestrian traffic, single lanes, overly courteous VT drivers, and so on. VT roads were made before cars so everyone built up to the path that existed then. It's really hindered expansion of roads, which is part of the charm of VT I suppose.
