>But that would come at the expense of backing up that highway.
Roundabouts are a great solution to this. Everyone slows down a bit, instead of either doing 55 or 0. Also, when there IS a collision, you're more likely to get a glancing blow instead of t-boned.
Also, when I'm riding (motorcycle or bicycle) this kind of intersection is terrifying because it only takes one person running a light at 55mph to kill you.
