If you think the road layout is all screwy (which, in part, is due to the volleyball courts, baseball fields, etc. littered around the MS Campus), consider the layout of the buildins on campus.
Several of the older buildings have funky "X" type shapes (XBox anyone?) that lead to parking lots that are often crowded... something about the way that you increase office space with such a building, but the space between the "legs" of the building left for parking are nowhere near enough.
I challenge any newcomer to drive around the MS campus and enter one of those odd parking lots (one way signs and short little roads of 10 feet or less abound) and try to get out. It's a friggin' mouse trap. You get used to it eventually, but whew.

Forget the roads - the parking lots are insane
