interestingly, the centers of many "old" European cities (from the time they had walls) are approximately the size of such a highway intersection - of which this picture shows only the innner part; there's more around.
Using space, what a choice: the vibrant life of a whole community, or the vibrant life of people isolated in steel and plastics rushing from A to B.

At first sight, I thought that is some super-intersection nearby Los Angeles. Then I realized that there isn't that much traffic on those roads, which only a couple of them are multi-lanes highways : therefore, it's not another avatar of the America-First spirit. Such a waste of space can't be from Dubai or Singapore or Beijin neither. So, I went on BoredStop to get the answer (i mean, the country). Surprise, surprise !... Hence my answer to the unnatural thing : there's a kind of discrepancy between this huge intersection and the country where it's located. On top of it, what a true waste of space...
