    Counting the service road is kind of cheating. In built up areas in Texas they’re de facto city streets that happen to exactly mirror the freeway. They have intersections, lights, businesses, etc.

      Yep. Texas does that because of a state law that says any landowner with property adjacent to a highway has a right to access that highway.
