For reference, in the United States, the amount of money spent on road maintenance per state controlled mile looks something like this:

* $2,700 in Alabama

* $80,000 in Massachusetts

* $84,000 in California

* $208,000 in New Jersey

For context, making a new 2-lane road costs 2-5 million USD per mile.

I didn't realize roads were so expensive.
