Oliver,
I will add 2 cents to your details about Dallas.  First, I have "fond"
memories of the entrance ramps to the Central Expressway around SMU.
Traffic moving at over 100KPH, totally blind approach, and about 100
meters to merge makes an interesting merge.  If anybody ever wonders why
horsepower is highly prized in Texas those ramps is the ticket.  The
only way I could ever merge was full throttle down the ramp aiming to
hit 120-140KPH at the end and hope to find a hole in traffic, or at
least get enough ahead of the car that it would be his fault.

With all that said, I find driving in Dallas relaxing after driving in
Atlanta.
