/* ---------- "Freeway design?" ---------- */
So I was wondering if there are some standards for building them
that make them all look about the same. Things like maximum degree
of arc, width, accelleration/decelleration lane lengths (although that
is one of the things I'll be varying in my simulation).

Try calling your local highway department.  I'll bet they have a notebook
listing such things.  From working for the local Soil Conservation Service
office I know they have manuals for designing culverts, bridges, road
beds, etc.  Sort of fun browsing; I never imagined that someone would go
to the trouble of writing a manual for such mundane things, or that it
would be so thick!
