I mean the same can be said of the cores of American cities as well. The stroads are generally out on the edges where the city grew just in the last 75 years or so, just like how the highways in major European cities generally won’t be in the ancient city centers.
Sure I can find plenty of nearly identical stroads around New York, Minneapolis and Chicago but if you look at the very center of each of them they’ll all look very different and local culture and history will shine through
A stroad and a highway is not the same though. A highway doesn’t take you to stores or services, it takes you between cities. Stroads are a part of a city.
I’d also note that the Italian highways (which was showcased in two pictures) are pretty infamous in Europe.
