How good are American roads?
Oregon manages about 40% the road miles of California with 10% the population and 70% of the tax revenue per capita.

I imagine that all states would have more trouble managing more roads than they currently do, and less trouble managing fewer roads than they currently do.

I dont follow? Are you invoking some diseconomies of scale. California has about twice the roads but more than 5X the budget.

My prior post is choosing not to compare the two at all. In isolation, it is easier for California to handle fewer roads than it currently does.
