Step one foot across the border. It looks like that almost everywhere
What part of Texas was this? The whole length of 20?

ah yes, the infamous 20. fvck that highway. i get on it almost daily for work here in midland/odessa/pecos. driving a 9,000lb trailer on that piece of sh1t road is even worse.
mornings around the pecos aread, it get's foggy AF, and it happens all of a sudden. can't see the car that's 20 feet ahead of you. traffic is bad in the afternoons because of all the oilworkers. potholes the size of moon craters and overall road condition is terrible.
don't get me started on the traffic that happens when there's a fatal accident (which is like every other day)

Re: worse garbage strewn roads in America
why aren't chain gangs cleaning up the roads. is it considered racist or something?

Re: worse garbage strewn roads in America
LDD that is quit the list !!!
I knew Milwaukee would be bad , but I don't understand why warm climate areas would have bad roads, unless they do not put money into them like cold climate regions , where roads naturally get horrible, from frost heaving etc..
Immigrants , or prisoners showed be involved in road maintenance and clean up.
We have a lite Prison system close by , where the prisoners help maintain roads , by doing the brush work. It gets them , out and about and gives them some need to help..

I-10, I-35, I-45 etc. are all perfectly fine.
Private property rights could solve this.
