Highway spending increased by 90% in 2021. This is one of many reasons why car traffic is growing faster than population growth.

    TBF US highways are undermaintained and a collapse could endanger lives.

    I’d rather have a railway expansion but we still gotta maintain whats been built.

            It is moreso premised on the notion that highways and concrete passes/bridges have been recieving far insufficient maintenance for many years at a time.

            I am not saying “replace every old road” I am just saying “keep important roads usable.”
