10 year after, I came back to this video, nostalgia is strong :-) I was amazed by this video(and I'm still), at that time 720p was impressive, youtube resolutons was way smaller, I was only 20 years old...time is flying
This not only a simple video showing the Tokyo Expressway, it's an audio/visual experience. The music is so futuristic, so shiny, so clean, like Tokyo at the early morning. You have an incredible infrastructure ! Tokyo is really impressive, have to go there someday.
That was a glorious morning, no clouds, nice colourful sky. But i swear i keep on seeing the same white minubus/mpv style car (im guessing they are popular)
@nozscrap Yes, central route of Shuto Expressway was constructed during 1962 to 1967. In Soralis(1972) Shuto Expressway had been used as futuristic scene. Search "Solaris Full Highway Scene" for the detail.
@LondonUnderground186 100km/hr limit on all expressways, there are speed cameras, marked+ unmarked police cars ( typically V8 Toyota Crowns but I've seen NSX Hondas and even Skyline GT-R's ) People don't "jam up" so much and most drivers are very courteous Can speed late at night out of town, for eg. if you are driving North out of Tokyo to ski country you can put pedal to the metal and do 150/160km/hr once you're outside city limits
hell the HELL did Japan make the world's largest city so....clean? so perfect? with about 30million people you'd think this would be jammed packed with cars! LA has 12 million but the motorways are jammed packed 24/7 And Auckland (1.3 million) doesn't even have a decent Bus system.
I remember going underneath the palace with all the tiles, one Gaijin would joke "I keep expecting to see a urinal pop out right here!"--ha ha...I don't miss it one bit.
For those who live in Japan or have travelled there, I have two questions... - 1/ What's the maximum speed limit on expressways and how controls are made by the police? - 2/ If we consider they drive on the other side of the road, are people stay jammed "cruisin" on the right lane (the passing lane) for no reason? I drive for a livin' every day for work and I'm just fed up when most of North Americans drive slowly on the left lane and don't move their fat asses when someone behind is behind
@LondonUnderground186 : Tokyo is much, much bigger than LA, and no East LA off-ramp to worry about here, you can't make a wrong turn and wind up in a bad part of town Not many traffic jams either + Tokyo public transport system is 1000 times better than LA's
@Hardbass11 USA is so in total decline that they don't have any single penny to maintain their roads properly. I drove often in California and always amazed to realize this was one of the richest state of the US and with such crappy roads. Even Louisiana which is far to be the richest has better roads, modern weigh stations! I never been to Japan but as far as I have heard and seen, all looks neat, clean, and people are not as selfish and with a high ego as North Americans
To live in such a city, you better not be claustrophobic, nor agoraphobic. Everything looks so small and so close to one another. There is no space to breathe.
I'd probably have to ride a bike around, my tall ass wouldn't fit in those smart cars, and my big ass american car wouldn't fit on those roads I believe xD.
