I would join the same protest… but then later that week I’d join the next protest demanding they fix the road I just asked them not to work on.
It’s frustrating in northern Ontario because the combination of cold winters and lots and lots of heavy transport trucks every day means that our roads are no good after about four years.
Not really different here in Indiana in terms of road issues with cold and heavy trucks. We like to say that the orange barrel is the Indiana state flower.
Whoops … wrong thread (I am rewording my original response to this)
Trucks gained all importance because it meant it all consumed more oil and gas instead of saving energy by having trains. Why would corporations spend tens of thousands on fuel for a train pulling tons of material across the country when they could spend billions and billions of endless fuel on millions of transport trucks destroying roads made of oil and asphalt that have to be repaired on an annual basis?

Which means we only have two highway seasons …
Winter Season and Construction Season

Y’all and I-70. Poor bastards, I used to have to drive through that state twice a week and I doubt it has gotten any better.
Edit: game to have
Yep. I’m in Terre Haute. Going to Casey later today, I imagine you know why.
You could make sturdier roads for those truck, for example made of metal. They’d last decades! 🛤
