Well, Bob, sometime in the 1960's they determined that long straight stretches of road caused accidents because drivers quit paying attention, so they quit designing them that way. They actually put in curves where none are needed now.
Also when dealing with governments strange things happen. For instance, when I worked for the Michigan DOT we (the state) maintained the on and off ramps, while the counties maintained the Interstate itself.
