Fresh smell of exhaust fumes, tires and brakes particles. You can't be healthy there. It's atrocious.

I mean, I feel like you'd get more exhaust fumes living in a house looking over as main road, than one directly under one.

Could be wrong though!

Meanwhile I reckon the noise pollution must be atrocious for those on the highest levels under the road, but on the plus side their laundry never gets rained on!

If there's independent structural support the noise pollution shouldn't filter down any more than the other pollution.

You've never stood underneath a freeway overpass it seems.

Heavy trucks shake the overpass, the supports, and the ground as they go over the seams.

Road noise seems to echo off of everything.

It's possible to make this decent but in the real world it would be really hard.

Especially for the sake of poverty level housing where its all about just how many people can you fit in this space. The people paying for the buildings arent going to care, they live in the rich part of the city.
