It's fun with friends!

Yeah, it is. Your point?

Why do highways have just grass there? Plant a tree or two.

This work is actually fun with some banter from work mates

They don't plant trees so people cant crash into them and die.

why is the road through my town six lanes wide? why is it impossible to walk or ride my bike anywhere? why do you need to take a fucking bus to get to the county fair when its FOUR BLOCKS AWAY?

They'd plow into the other highway, into another car, and kill someone otherwise then.

Works in my town.

There are concrete barriers or at least a grassy ditch separating them.

Some places do, but that increases the required maintenance

So a storm doesn't knock the trees over and cause a traffic jam.

erecting ugly concrete barriers that require millions of dollars in regular maintenance is OK

planting a tree is not

we shouldn't plant trees because they might get in the way of some cars for a few hours 40 years from now

what this guy said.

They'd plow into the other highway, into another car, and kill someone otherwise then.

no they won't. that's what the big dip or sharp inclined hill is for. cars are rigid and get BTFO by sharp angles unless they're purpose-designed offroad vehicles with crazy suspensions and a lifted chassis.

millions of dollars in regular maintenance

dude, its fucking concrete. Are you retarded or something?

it wont have to be maintained until the next generation is in charge, so that means it's basically free

Thanks for confirming you're retarded so I can immediately dismiss your dogshit opinions.

posts a literal nothing reply that doesnt contribute whatsoever to the conversation

let me guess, youre a democrat.

uhhh you're right, no wait left

i need to consult my political compass before i can have an opinion on whether concrete blocks or trees are better

some already have trees in the middle. the entire argument ITT is based on a faulty premise. it's all about how fast you expect people to be going on the road when they crash. cars going ~70+ on an interstate will literally get cut in half by small trees. cars going ~40 on local two lane roads can get stopped by the trees without (usually) annihilating the occupants.

Good. Slow down.

You are talking to a brown person that thinks trees are free. What did you expect?

trees aren't free therefore we shouldn't have them

concrete is fine, why do you ask?

Cool, fallacy bro.
You're sure to win the argument by acting like an absolute spastic.
Keep posting, I'm sure you'll seem smarter next time. Give me a (you).

non-Americans flabbergasted at seeing grass and trees in the median

huh?

idk how to respond sooo your gay

noooo you're just using fallacies, we NEED to put concrete all over the place!

the resultant traffic jam for the cleanup would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost productivity and potentially even lost lives at emergencies at other places because of ambulances being blocked, entirely independent of your moralfagging position.

is the job market really that bad or is just demoralization fakenews?

we can't plant trees because emergency services will be delayed

that's a new one.

american calling someone else brown

that's not.

I always thought they should spread native wildflower seeds in the median

washington should remove all those trees and replace them with concrete so that their ambulances can get around

I hope one day you will understand

nooo u cant plant trees, it will cost too much

If a game requires socialisation to be fun then it's not a good game. Prime example: World of Warcraft.

me when i'm playing monopoly solo

noooo trees arent worth it nooooo

Not my problem.

Slow down.

List of completely viable solutions:

walk anyways it's 4 blocks

buy a bicycle

buy a motorcycle/scooter

buy a car

take the bus anyways

carpool (no friends huh?)

campaign for to your local officials for a foot bridge

Or

whine online about muh culture muh cars abloo

Idk. Try dying.

nooo if you want to improve living conditions you're brown, i can't imagine contributing to society noooo

i have absolutely no argument and nothing to contribute

trees are cunts. if you ever have to deal with trees on your property you will know.

Look up the I-10 Katy Freeway, it's no shit like 20 lanes wide or something and has ramps and loops all over it. I live next to it and take it every day. Even if you are used to American highways it will shock you if you've never seen it.

Slow down.

70 is well within the speed limit in a lot of places.

I never thought about it. I guess that you still need some mud and grass to absorb rainwater so the whole highway dont get flooded in a 5 minute rain.

soil permeability matters but isn't as important as runoff, highways are built sloped at a 2% grade so runoff goes into the neighboring fields and built with drainage in mind which can require construction of ditches or drainage channels

I just learned today that 40-50% of the Indian population is inbred as of multiple censuses.
