We're not going to stop maintaining roads. They exist for military defense as much as they do for road trips and trucks.

Road maintenance isn't a fixed cost; The level of use, particularly by heavy vehicles like trucks, affects the amount of maintenance required.

  • You’re right. It’d definitely decrease maintenance. I’m not sure how much maintenance is from usage vs wear from the weather (especially in cold areas)
