I'm a Michigander. We don't get ridiculous low temps like -70 or anything but, I wish most roads would be left alone. Plow and salt main Highways and expressways but, leave everything else undone. Then we can buy vehicles that can traverse the snow like sleds or good 4x4 rigs.

This would keep our roads nicer and would keep our cars from rotting out

That’s not really feasible. School buses is one obvious reason (among many others).

Kids can take their parents’ sled to school.

Come on...we could have school sled dog "busses"!

If you have no traction it doesn't matter how many wheels have power to them your still gonna slip.

Amoung the tons of other issues with just not plowing some roads. Comment reeks of brainrot.

If your losing traction you don't have a good 4x4 rig.

[–] ArtificialLink@lemy.lol 0 points 9 months ago

It doesn't matter how good the rig is if all four wheels are on ice lol.

Sleds we're mentioned for a reason. Make it the job of the individual to decide if leaving here is worth the work or not

Reduce car dependency, plow side roads first because main roads clear themselves.
