This is the Tahya Misr Axis in Cairo, a massive infrastructure project designed to bypass the city's notorious congestion.
The highway is famous for its "32-lane" section near the Rod El Farag bridge. However, from a transportation engineering perspective, this illustrates the principle of Induced Demand.
Urban planners have found that increasing road capacity often fails to reduce traffic because the larger road encourages more people to drive, eventually returning the congestion to its original level. This is known as the Downs-Thomson Paradox.
The road also features the world's widest cable-stayed bridge, measuring 67.3 meters across. While its scale is an engineering marvel, it reflects a heavy "car-centric" approach to city planning that differs from the public transit focus of many European and Asian megacities.
The only crown I ask, dear Lord to wear
Is this : that I may teach a little child.
I do not ask that I may ever stand
Among the wise, the worthy, or the great;
I only ask that softly, hand in hand,
A child and I may enter at the gate"

God’s love on display through Jesus didn’t condemn or shame us but set us free. He did what only He could do: restore to us the life and hope we had lost. Jesus is our Rescuer, Healer, and Redeemer.
#Hope#Copied#Jesus
But with Jesus as our helper & healer, we can break through shame to a place of grace & freedom. We can love others from a healthy place, free from how they feel about us. We can throw off disapproval, rejection, abandonment as our hearts are held by the Prince of Peace.#Copied
@restoreorderusa What about the academic scholarships for students in developing countries? You can never imagine the stress and anxiety for these students on their futures. He could have selected certain projects! Such orders may sound autocratic!!
