There is always money for a new highway. Never any for repairs. Political fact of life in the US.

My brother was an engineer who worked on the US Interstate System. He's told
me that the roads were truly designed for an optimum speed of 80 mph. This
was to enable patrolmen involved in high speed chases not to be flung off
the highway on curves and the rest of us driving at 65 mph not to slide down
the same embanked curves.


Frankly I was appalled at the state of some of the highways, especially
in NYC! Ni wonder there are so many SUVs - needed to traverse the potholes.




Cheers, Cotty
