I agree that highways have no business being close to city centers. However, the edge case I described could cause a pileup. That sort of disregard would be gross negligence of something that’s supposed to improve safety. The first time that happened, there would be such intense backlash and rollback that the idea would be shelved forever.
Sure, that’s something that would need to be tested before it was enforced. But it’s not beyond our capabilities; we’ve made more complex things happen for much more frivolous reasons.
