* ''Film/Aquaman2018''. The Kingdom of Atlantis seems to be just UnderwaterRuins until Arthur Curry gets his first look at the Gateway Bridge which is an AwesomeUnderwaterWorld version of this trope. The reason for [[TwoDSpace Atlantis having a bridge at all]] is that it's a relic of the old Atlantis before it sunk, now used as a border control checkpoint.

* In the Volume 1 ''Comicbook/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Mirage}}'' story ''Sky Highway'', while set in an alternate dimension rather than a future Earth, this trope comes into play, as the Turtles and Casey Jones find themselves pursuing a group of mutants who have stolen their car, in a high-speed chase on top of a floating highway in the sky of an alien world.

* In the Volume 1 ''Comicbook/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Mirage}}'' story ''Sky Highway'', while set in Turtles|Mirage}}'': The "Sky Highway", an alternate dimension rather than that consists of seemingly nothing but a future Earth, massive, multi-layered highway. Anyone who stumbles into this trope comes world through one of the random portals that appear on the highways of Earth begin to mutate into play, as the Turtles and Casey Jones find themselves pursuing a group of bizarre, Big Daddy Roth-esque mutants who have stolen along with their car, in vehicles, though most of them don't care, as the Sky Highway is portrayed as a realm of pure, high-speed chase on top of a floating highway in freedom.

* One of the many ludicrous images in ''ComicBook/{{Kamandi}} AtEarthsEnd'' is a truly titanic highway, practically the width of a city, justified by RuleOfCool. The cars that drive on it are much more ''Film/MadMaxFuryRoad'' than ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'', though.

** All cars, including trucks, also drive on spheres instead of wheels, allowing them to move in a direction different from where the vehicle is facing. Makes parallel parking a lot easier. That is if they parked their cars, which they don't. They put cars in garages that look like the dry cleaners coat rack. Better hope all your items are secured.

* In the 1930s, Le Corbusier designed and lobbied for his 'Plan for Algiers' which included a city-spanning concrete motorway running across the roof of a viaduct-like megastructure that would house 180,000 residents. He never convinced anyone to go ahead with the idea, which was just as well [[HistoryMarchesOn given Algeria's subsequent war for independence]].
