Trucks will be able to operate more efficiently, because they won't be slowed down going through cities. They'll be able to get more productivity out of their drivers, because they won't be stuck in city traffic, and the speed limit will be 85 mph. Also, the separation of trucks and cars will greatly improve safety. The rail corridors will eliminate the need for thousands of trucks, and will allow railroads to abandon old rights of way with grade leve crossings. I guess if you're a trial lawyer, you won't like it, because it will decrease the number of truck-car and train-car accidents.

How right you are, and it will be a giant wall/fence across Texas, dividing the state, as crossing this mostrosity will be so costly, it will rarely be done. Can you imagine the costs to build a bridge across this road?
However, this sounds like a good idea to build this road along our boarder with Mexico, to keep the Mexicans away, or to make it too dangerous for them to walk across .(hee,hee)
