This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What? You just made that up that has nothing to do with the question at habd
huh? which part did I make up?
This being a closed-asphalt mix? That's pretty obvious, since there's water pooled on top. That the road was poorly designed? It's a 6 or 7 lane accessroad, by definition that's poorly designed. That the maintenance is bad? There's water pooling in dozens of places because either the road sagged from the weight of waiting cars (the lengthwise puddles) or from ripples caused by braking cars (widthwise puddles). Or that the US doesn't spend money on infrastructure? I guess that's debatable (6 lane accessroads don't come cheap after all).
Not bothering to argue about Americans fucking up on infra investment, but I am curious why you keep calling that road an “access road” and make the generalization that having 6 or more lanes inherently makes it bad. Tell me more about this, because roads with that many lanes are a daily part of life when you live in a major metro area in the US (especially in the middle of the US where land is cheaper).
Dunno if that's what they're talking about, but so called stroads are a terrible idea. That is, roads which combine lots of fast through-traffic with many destinations like stores where people pull out of driveways. It's a recepie for desaster.
