In Nordic countries, you don't see the lane markings for several months, they are under snow and ice. And sometimes, when it melts in April or May, you notice you have been driving on the roadside for a few months :-)
Oh, and you don't see anything at all if you are behind a truck or a bus.
- dagw 10y agoIn Nordic countries... In some parts of some Nordic countries. In my part of my Nordic country we haven't had proper snow for probably about 6 or 7 years and even then it was only for a few weeks. But more generally. If the snow clearing machines where also driver less then they might be able to run more or them more often and keep the roads clearer.
- emodendroket 10y agoIt's not just a matter of running them often. Where are you going to put all this excess snow? And operating the plows won't be free even without labor.
