we have a higher unpermitted gross weight (150,000) for commercial vehicles and some of the shittiest building codes for roads in the civilized world. i'm also pretty sure that there's unbelievable corruption in the road work industry as well.  in metro detroit by the airport, merriman road has been torn up all summer. one mile over they finished the same length stretch of middlebelt virtually overnight. they were laying asphalt in the dark wearing hats with light up brims. some jobs are just welfare and milked for years. ohio is worse on this. 75 through toledo was fucked up for over 5 years in the same stretch and it's never done.
