A lot of places in tropical / monsoonal climates get seasonal flooding and roads regularly becoming impassible with flooding and slips and washouts etc, even in "developed" countries. I imagine places that get a lot of snow have similar issues. That doesn't make precise and unambiguous addresses less important than in other parts of the world!
- garbagecoder 4y agoNot saying it does, but we can't afford to do everything. The OECD has said the roads are a huge drag on our growth. The biggest problem was a massive corruption scandal surrounding the improvement of the main highway for the whole country. It's getting done, but years late.
