Probably expensive compared to modern shit roads.

One is used by humans. The other is used by cagers in F-150s

1) stop driving "cars" that weigh half as much as your house
2) stop fucking speeding, idiot
3) maybe try riding a horse instead? because that's what the Romans were driving.

Modern roads have different design parameters (one of which is constant upkeep for grifting purposes).

>trucks
>weather
I can not emphasize trucks enough. 1 truck equals around 10 000 cars when it comes to the stress it causes to the road's structure. In Finland we don't even consider normal car traffic when designing a road since it doesn't matter.

>one of which is constant upkeep for grifting purposes
This

Indiana probably has way larger fluctuations in temperature than Italy does

So naturally concrete in Indiana would need to be replaced way more often. Concrete just like metal or anything else takes a huge beating from first of all weight of stuff on them, but the constant expanding and shrinking from shifts in temperature destroys the structure

If you want no potholes then become a chemist and make a new material that is impervious to heat

Because they used horses and they built the roads 5 feet thick.

lets see you drive down a cobblestone road at 70mph for hundreds of miles

romans had gravel roads by the way. kind of like the ones you see in parks

the roman road wasn't built by union mafia scum doing it wrong on purpose so they'd have to be rehired a couple months later

Nigga this road has obviously been rebuilt

Pic on the left is also a sublayer of an actual roman road

facebookoids are the worst for making awful tripe like this

>and why can't we
Because asphalt is much cheaper in the short term than concrete and politicians are heavily disincentivized from sacrificing in the short term for long term games, and the constant maintenance of asphalt breeds all sorts of profitable rackets politicians can ignore in exchange for donations.

jesus christ we get it. what is wrong with canadians?

Why are you quoting me with those other posts? Do burgerstanis think flags are profile pictures?

I hate trucks
