Even though it looks kinda cool and cyberpunk, it’s still gross that there’s so many roads completely built over a city where people work and live, with a No Cycling sign suggesting cyclists and pedestrians are second class citizens here.
The other big problem of vertical congestion like this is air pollution. I once looked at living close to a raised highway like this, but you’d more or less have to hold your breath every time you return home.
Yeah, what grosses me out is just thinking of all the microplastic particles that cars put in the air. Our right to clean air should supercrde their right to convenience

To be fair Tokyo (where this is) is pretty cycle and pedestrian friendly in general.
