How so? roads were already dimensioned for horses, motorways for tanks. Most major change had industry (shipping, logistics etc) or military backing.

  We changed the main purpose of roads to be for cars https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2022/11/08/happy-birthday-car-dependency-100-years-old-this-week/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/carltonreid/2022/11/08/happy-bi...

    Yeah bit we didn't change the world, and we didn't add roads. We just refused the existing ones, building out as necessary.

      Only if you think a road back then is the same as a road now. We changed the layout, the material, added guardrails and guide posts etc.
