OTOH, neighborhood roads aren't designed for the same amount of traffic as main roads -- maintenance happens less often, the roads are made of cheaper materials

OTOH, neighborhood roads aren't designed for the same amount of traffic as main roads -- maintenance happens less often, the roads are made of cheaper materials, there are no street lights, etc.
I don't believe that they are "underutilized" by being used solely as neighborhood roads -- that is, in fact, all they were designed for.
- hx87 10y agoYou're right that they are designed for lower loads. But perhaps they shouldn't be, and retrofitting them might be a good use of public money.
- johnmaguire2013 10y agoAt that point, why not expand "public" roads?
- rahimnathwani 10y agoExpand them how? Make them wider, and get rid of the sidewalk? Make them multi-level?
