I was thinking that might be a logical thing for superhighways to do, 
maybe more logical than their present effect of doubling trade in the 
tiles they go through being as how most superhighways do not seem to be 
"strips" but rather are controlled-exits kinds of things with very limited 
amounts and types of businesses built along them. Tough I understand that 
maybe the trade bonus isnt thinking of the businesses built along the 
highway so much as shipping larger quantities of goods between existing 
businesses in industrial parks and downtowns and such.

It might make sense though to only allow the use of the outer set of tiles 
if they are actually connected to the city by roads or rails. Hmm, wait, 
maybe if the enabling tech as "ATV" or "SUV" or somesuch it might not need 
the roads or rails? :)
