how about, instead of roads for the well to do, we do this...make roads for big rigs only...separate cars and big rigs entirely...i've always thought that cars and the big trucks should have never been using the same roads...that many many years ago it should have been two sets of roads...well if they want to make new highways, do it this way instead...

can be paid for with the taxes trucks pay already...since car only roads will need less repairs and repaving...trucks doing the most and major damage

it just seems to me that we already have enough separating the haves and the have nots without adding roads that poor people can't use, where here seems to be a win win...cars don't like to be on the road with big rigs, big rigs don't like to be on the road with cars

Excellent idea in theory because it would be much safer. It sounds very expensive, though. I'd be all for it despite the high cost, though.
