Yes, there are some 4-lane stretches, but if you're stuck behind a truck doing 30, you're S.O.L.

That was probably a high accident area if it does not have cloverleaf entrance and exits. I live in an area that has a four lane 55/mph speed limit that has a regular county road intersection approx. every mile. Driving on that road is like driving on the interstate without modern interchanges. In that area most of the accidents are caused when a car is waiting to make a left turn with the wheels already turned to the left. Then it is hit from behind pushing it into traffic coming from the opposite direction at 55+ MPH, many of which are fatal accidents. Could you imagine driving on an interstate in wet/slippery conditions and making a left turn from the left lane across oncoming traffic.
