I would say Vanagons (Content) are safer in them since we're higher
[excepting those H(B)UMMERS].

We had one in Texas and worked bassackwards, IIRC.  You had to stop before
exiting.  It was huge (course everything is there ya know) and I believe
that's the only reason it lasted as long as it did.  After a pregnant
passenger was killed in the backup the town fathers decided to pave of the
center fountain and make it a three way.

A french colleague here said it's about time we 'got it' (Portland is
building more of them too.).  Says traffic flows more smoothly and allows
you to continue traveling without unnecessary stops.
