TL;DR

Stroads have the speed limit of a normal road (80-100 km/h) with the turn opportunities of a street road you normally go 20 km/h on, and the lanes and usual capacity of a highway

In other words: Every person on there drives with 80 for a minute or 2, then has to change lanes about 4 times in order to get to the street they want to go to, slow down to 10 km/h, and exit. All that while there are 2 cars just speeding up in front of you, 4 in the lane behind you going 80, and 3 others blocking you in.

Make that with 50 cars, asynchronous and an exit every 100 meters, and you see the problem
