Speaking as a former North Carolina DOT engineering Tech, everybody is on the money. Here is a tid bit that makes the above agruements even more interesting. This comes from the NCDOT pavement design section. By the Proctor Method of Asphalt testing: One (1) legally loaded Simi-Tractor Trailer with approved tire inflation, in one pass, does more damage to the road surface and its structure than do 900 automobiles. When you combine the cost of lives, injuries, lost time and expense of widening and modernizing roadway (4 to 5 million dollars a mile and that's cheap) it seems that somebody sure has done a great snow job in getting us to pay our tax dollars that seem to be cheap to go into what is an increasingly large money pit to serve us in a more and more expensive way of putting our lives on the line.
