Is there rampant, excessive, un-necessary ROAD construction going on in your area ?
Contractors are tearing up perfectly good roads all over my area. There are MASSIVE road construction/ upgrades in progress all over here. Repaving, and upgrading roads that are/ were in perfectly good condition are being shredded and repaved. It is RAINING money around here, like a huge federal make-work full employment operation. |

Yep, they've torn up an entire city nearby to put in 3 Roundabouts. 3 Roundabouts in a 3 block section, all of them 1 block from an At Grade RR crossing.
The construction is retarded, the carnage afterwards could be epic. Picture traffic backed up for trains, roundabouts clogged, traffic stalled on RR crossings. Good times, good times. |

I am getting the idea that the road construction binge is the latest iteration of Quantitative Easing,
literally POURING new, made up money on the local economies, to stave off economic depression. The end result will be a hyperinflation. If this trend continues, Toilet paper will cost more per pound than fifty dollar bills. |

Quoted: Yet the very worst, pothole ridden sections remain untouched. Let's tie up the highest traffic sections for YEARS doing apparently, nothing. I love when they sit for 6 months seemingly untouched, but the barrels and lowered speed limits remain. coming from central FL to AR i was amazed that road construction actually gets finished here as in after a couple years they pull up the barrels and the road is open. |

I see you've driven on I-59 and I-65 too. 10 mile stretches of orange barrels , 55mph, ......cheap & easy way to set up speed traps |
