Urban road damage

2015-07-23 18:43:49.081+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

More reason we should stop throwing money down the automobile infrastructure rathole and start abandoning infrastructure: Report: 1 in 4 urban roads damaged, costing motorists up to $1,000 per year.

More than one-fourth (28%) of urban interstates, freeways and arterial routes with at least two lanes were paved in "poor" condition in 2013, according to the report from TRIP, a non-profit transportation research group funded by industry groups such as construction businesses and unions.

Yep: Arterials, "urban" interstates and freeways, these are all the things that subsidize the sprawl that's choking us economically.
