As well as banked curves, etc.
In my opinion, they should just upgrade as they rebuild...I don't see the mentality on continuing a system that is over 60 years old. This will spread the cost out over time as well.

SShhhh, most of the panel's history might be a little hazy..Once they learn of what you said, the auto panel will probably make restrictions as to how heavy cars can be so they don't wear out the roads as quickly.. That and offer tax rebates to those people who's combined weight with the car is less than 1,500 pounds..
