Under the elevated high way....
Though there is no person and cars insight, I can hear noises of the city. Highway is often compared to arteries of body. The lines of cars coming and going are one of the symbolic views of urban area.
"Metropolitan Expressway" in Tokyo was built in 1960s, just before Tokyo Olympic. Because of its time schedule and difficulty of obtaining enough space in well-developed urban area, the ways had no choice but to be narrow and winding roads.
So drivers who use this highway should pay attention to narrow lanes, sharp bends, and crowded other cars. In addition, thanks to their unrefined figure, it is said that they have spoiled the landscape.
But the highway have been used for over 4o years. I wonder if it is becoming one of original scenery of this city.
