    I would imagine the curvature of a highway is too tight a turn for a HSR to make safely, if “building rails along highways” was taken literally. I could be wrong though

      it should still be enough to travel faster than cars though, like 140 is pretty normal for trains whereas for cars that’s about the maximum they should ever go no matter what
