For sure. I haven't driven anywhere in
Texas since 1979 without some kind of
road maintenance or construction going
on, literally. Don't need it.

You must have a wonderful car/truck that
fills in the potholes just ahead of your driving
over them.


Exactly. I've driven through Texas recently (I-10 and I-20) and they do
need road maintenance. On several sections of those highways, it may be
smoother to just drive through the desert on the sand.


Ha!!! Yep, and the hilarious thing is that it is only recent that I-20
(don't know about I-10, near Houston, right?) is getting any attention.
Point being: the roads that need the fixin' the most haven't gotten it, and
the roads that are half-way decent are that way because "they" won't leave
'em alone!


The last time I drove
through Northern California (several years ago), I-5 had similar problems.
On some sections of I-5, I had to slow down to 35 mph to avoid being
literally bounced around inside the vehicle. By comparison, Alabama
recently
repaved their major roads and was a pleasure to drive through.
