Stop in for a cup of coffee

PA isn't quite in the top 10 for road total mileage. Not sure where we rank for the amount of that maintained by the state. While some of the heaviest traffic areas may be actual wear and tear, I think the freeze thaw cycle is a huge factor compared to most of the states that have more road miles.

I dont by the whole freeze and thaw thing. Ive been to Europe, which gets colder winters and as hot as summers as we do. Their roads are nearly flawless. granted their taxes are higher but I think its in the materials we use. I'm no engineer but asphalt doesnt hold up well at all. Hell, race tracks have to repave every few years.
