On: A Mexican architect has a vision for a city straddling the U.S.-Mexico border

Ignoring the political significance of this design, the cubic street layout would either be great or awful based on experience with diagonal streets.

Does anyone know of examples of other cities with striking diagonal layouts?

DC resident here - diagonal boulevards sure looks pretty, but 5+ way intersections are always a mess.

All I saw from the road-map of this city was waaaay to many 6+ way intersections of major (perimeter or axis of triangle/hexagon areas) roads.

Look at the central north/south road, you've got a 6-way intersection every block. No thanks.
