@matrix@opal Not every country has a traffic problem. It takes me an hour to drive 20 miles. Choosing to avoid toll roads? You're missing my point again. What are you smoking dude?
@matrix Again. You're missing the point. They build those roads 2 thousand years ago. Those roads are still here. Yes we have combustion engine and electricity to lift mountains. All of these inventions came around in the last century. ROMANS ACHIEVED GREATENESS 2 THOUSANDS YEARS AGO.
@opal@matrix It has nothing to do with cost. I'm convinced that they purposefully create traffic on public highways to redirect cars into tolls. Same thing applies with GPS. When there are two routs with same ETA, google always sends me on a Toll road instead of free. Lucrative construction contracts are distributed to political campaign donators.
@matrix I live in a pothole capital of the US where the roads are under construction, causing traffic 24/7 12 months per year. Cost justified? Also keep in mind that Roman Empire was 2 thousand years ago and their innovation was just rediscovered. People marvel our modern technology, completely unaware how much past societies achieved with so little.
