But those are what we have and they have 3 axles, not 4. We also have many concrete roads and closely-spaced axles, if they had them, would not help. > Looking worse when you resurface on the same schedule isn’t an actual cost. I address

Wider tires do not reduce axle weight. Here in Seattle, the busy roads with older lanes used for buses are obvious, because they have two deep canyons while the lane next to them is fine. In fact King County Metro has to pay millions in fin

If they have bus-only lanes then they won't be stuck in traffic, so I don't think they have.

Russians torture and mutilate their prisoners. If they get caught, they likely will not be returned with their gonads intact. Is this a war crime? Yes. Is the rest of world letting it happen or actively abetting? It is!

Which results in people continuously getting new pitbulls which attack hundreds of thousands of people a year, often with life-changing injuries, and kill about a hundred. We should hold dog owners more responsible.
