That's not an actual picture of the road in the article. I'm also not sure one should count the feeder or access road as a part of the freeway. If you can't go freeway speeds it's probably not a freeway.

While that picture doesn't belong with the article (it's not the Katy freeway mentioned, if indeed it's a genuine photo at all and not a photoshop job), the real thing in Texas seems dystopian enough in its own right: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.7847495,-95.5325233,3a,75y,2...

Seems pretty similar to the 401 in Toronto, which is 18 lanes wide on some parts (not including merge lanes or access lanes):

I counted 40 lanes in that picture!

I think that photo might not be of a real place - here is a discussion trying to locate it:
