We just recently got new oil, chips, and stripes down the road we travel most. Oh, and rumble strips down the whole center of the road.

Bridges are huge concern - but lack of clean drinking water due to infrastructure failure should really get people's attention. Cholera, typhoid, dysentary, giardia, cryptospoidium, fasciolopsiasis, botulism, e.coli, legionellosis, gastroenteritis, hep A, campylobacterosis etc etc... Welcome back to the 1800's.
