You know all this is public record right? You can request it and know for yourself. I can’t speak to how _your local gov associates their maintenance spending, but roadwork is still expensive.

I think you’d be properly surprised at how expensive road maintenance is. Particularly when the local government has to abide by federal regulations.

Counter to what you’ve heard? Like it’s the light car traffic doing the damage?

Edit: To clarify- when I say damage I mean to the roadway surface and not the surrounding infrastructure.

You should also know that most vehicles do little to no damage to the roadway. 99%+ of the damage comes from heavy truck and bus traffic.

Almost like we should pay vehicle registration based on gross weight and distance driven.

Well that’s sadly educational. Thanks for the info.
