German here. While it does look massively different here we have these walls around the Autobahn to lower the noise from the cars. And since they’re mostly everywhere it also looks the same everywhere: Autobahn, walls, sometimes trees or otherwise green.
(rush hour ofc looks different and is the same every damn day and we just keep on doing it)
On the other hand I have to say aside from the streets there’s a huge variety in scenery, here as well as in the states.
I’d say the big difference between north american and european roads is just the fact that in europe 3 lanes per direction is generally the maximum, ignoring junctions.
Meanwhile in the US and even canada you get significant stretches (generally in urban areas too, wonderful) where you have 4+ lanes per direction!!!
We also tend to have vastly smaller junctions in general, both on highways and on smaller roads. The absurd size and higher frequency of interchanges on american highways can make the amount of roads almost quadruple in some areas, just an endless sea of flyovers…

Autobahn is out of the city experience. Stroads on OP picture are basically half of every American city.
