Some of these things are culturally surprising even coming from Canada, depending of course where you're coming from and going to. Our suburbs seem like a significantly scaled down replica of a good majority of U.S urban development since the 40s. Where it's impractical to get around without a car here, it's hilariously so there. Our biggest two highways seem to be the same size as half of each direction on a given highway in the U.S. We have Walmart, they have Super Walmart. It just takes some getting used to.

That said, the areas that were built before cars don't remotely suffer from this as much.
