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.
Comment on Protesting is getting weird...

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.
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.

There used to be a good Indian restaurant and truck stop in spice land, and another at the 123

In that same vein of logic … they should name the Highway Construction Worker as our Provincial Animal at this point.
If only we could come up with a new more modern way of transporting heavy goods … like mass transports … using only one giant powerful engine … with trailers of goods all tied together by the dozens … on a sturdy road … maybe made of iron … we could build these roads specifically just for these massive transports, separate from the public to keep people safe and save our roads from damage.

You could make sturdier roads for those truck, for example made of metal. They’d last decades! 🛤
