I was being sarcastic about 8 lanes, but all U.S. cities of any note are connected by 4 lane highways at minimum, with a wide center median made of concrete or a 100 foot grassy median and are 100% grade separated. Maine to Miami, Manhattan to The San Francisco Bay, you will likely travel the entire distance by car on at least a four lane highway. It's much the same in Europe too. So it is a bit of a culture shock when you get into countries where that is not the norm, and most long distance driving is done on two lane highways that are not grade separated.
