you are kidding, right? i am almost envisioning a "large, mostly empty" highway from Boston to NYC ( i guess that should count for "major towns", eh? ).
I-95 that is. last time i went there (a few weeks ago), i got stuck in traffic for almost two hours between stamford and pelhams. at 11pm. and the same on the way back.

Thus Americans tend to envision major towns connected by large, mostly empty, highways, while the English think in terms of narrow, winding roads, with massive congestion on the few limited-access highways.
