They raised the speed limit to 60mph now there is a shortage of HPs so there is no limit on the highway i am close to .Driving 90kph(55mph) here may get you run over by the idiots. You have to be constantly aware of the tailgaters

Welcome to MO or TX and ESPECIALLY GA, been in all three to experience that!!Exactly. Most seem to be oblivious that they may be driving on slippery surface/black ice etc…..speed sign says 100km/h after all!
Same here.n the US Midwest repaving is the enemy
Well, the trucker is going to be the one wearing the blame for that - he was the one right in the seat, controlling where it went.
We never went under a bridge with oversize, without stopping and checking - a lot of bridge height signs are wrong here (mostly, the bridges are higher than signposted).
But you never know when they might have done some road renovation and altered the clearance, and not changed the signage.
We once stopped and cursed our luck as we arrived a bridge we had permit clearance for (hauling a Cat 245 excavator), and found it was signposted lower than our travel height!
We set to and lowered the hydraulic suspension, and unbolted the A/C guard from off the cabin - then we sneaked forward to check overhead clearance - and then promptly found we had 2 feet to spare!!!
I like this one, he made a proper job on all those cars! But it looks like they were destined for the scrapper anyway, he just speeded up the job!

There are two main passes at the middle and south end of the Cascades in Washington.I try to follow a semi that's going kinda fast but slows down often, probably a experienced drive going the correct speed of the road and they also slow down for bad spots and I can slow down way before I get to them. It's still a little slower than the light weight SUVs passing me but I make it. 3/4 ton pickup with 60 gallons in the bed.
In some places they mill miles of highway through open fields before overlay, don't know why they do that.
I think you'd have to be ON meth to build something like that..........Yes Doug there is truth to that, it's better than using meth. If it would stop people from
using drugs there could be thousands of these. It would be ugly.
Here in Washington, they claim it is cheaper. Mill the surface in the morning, send it to the plant and send it back out to lay down in the afternoon. I have read claims that less than 10% of the material is lost and would need to be replaced by new. No idea how accurate that claim is, but it is made regularly.Almost every city, county, state and interstate here in Central AL is milled prior to resurfacing. Talking with some paving guys they said the gov't entities expect so many tons of millings to be credited back in the contract. I guess it's a way of saving money? No idea since I hate asphalt.
