Does efficiency also matter for roads? Has anyone ever produced a list of all the unprofitable roads in the country?

- JoeAltmaier 11y agoSure. I'm in the US. Iowa's DOT has constantly reevaluated the use of roads as land-use and rural residences change. Bridges de-commissioned; road maintenance turned to 'class B' which means no maintenance. In fact they recently re-committed their budget 100% to maintenance and 0% to new roads. Mostly because global weather instability has been really rough on our huge, vulnerable road network. Agriculture is important to us; every field has to have access to roads and markets.
