It seems to meNew Jersey Wealthy District was expelled from the United States.
In the picture below, there is a famous Ivy League school directly in front of the road wherethe dog gnawsPrinceton University, any house on both sides of the road can buy a carwith an annual property taxCRV。 When I first came here 5 years ago, it was so rottenthat it could make people vomit, and it has not been resurroofed so far.

It is normal for some roads to not have a car pass by for several minutes in a row duringoff-peak hours, and heavy vehicles are not allowed to take them, but it does not affect thatit is aging faster than Beijing's ring road. The houses on both sides of this road are moreexpensive, and one must be handed over a yearHighlander+ Taxes. Let's put it this way, thenearby towns are the richest in Wang Zitun, and they also have the most bad roads inWang Zitun. Although the surrounding towns have a large base of bad roads, there arealso many roads that are resurfaced every year.

The following road is one of the most famous bad roads in the local area. Although it isnot in the rich area, the housing prices on both sides of the road are also five or sixhundred thousand dollars, and the name of this road is very dog-headed.

In addition, I don't understand why the United States always likes to make the roadway orentrance and exit unusually high, and the junction has to be designed with a big step,which is about the same height as the road teeth in China. When entering the main road,because you can't lift the speed at the first time, there are much fewer opportunities tosafely merge, and you may have to wait for more than 3 minutes when the main road isbusy. If you don't want to get in the way of others, you can't feel sorry for the car andcomfort. In short, you must choose between harming others and benefiting others.

On the way to work, there is a level crossing located on the main road with a speed limit of 80km/h, as long as there is no traffic jam, it is 90km/h+ high-speed passage, everyonepasses like this, and the slowdown is more dangerous. In China, I didn't even think aboutcrossing the railway crossing at this speed.

The vast majority of bridge areas are cement pavement, not to mention the large joints,and the connection with the asphalt section is not aligned, and every time it passes, it is hittwice.

The seam on the picture doesn't look high, but if you drive at the speed limit, you can make therear seat passengersjump up
The place next to New York to the north is even worse, especiallyNewark Airport Thesurrounding roads can bite, and the road surface is not clear on rainy days and at night, soit is easy to be caught.

Because there are too many bad roads, it is not realistic to rely on detours. Therefore, whenthere was no car for a few hundred meters, I drove on these sections like an obstaclecourse, dodging back and forth in the lane. In China, the energy used to prevent ghostprobes and chaotic merging is spent in the United States staring at whether there arepotholes on the road surface, and the frequently traveled sections even have to forcethemselves to remember their specific locations in order to move in advance. But this isthe case, my car still inevitably has the following problems:
Previously, it was said that it could pass on three generations of 7generations Camry Theleft front shock absorber leaked oil in 8 years and 130,000 kilometers, and the oil hadleaked when it was replaced, and the piston could not rebound at all, leaving the effect ofthe spring.

Later, 10 generations were openedAccord Hybrid The performance of the chassis in a newcar is relatively flexible, neither stiff nor flickering, very comfortable. But after tens ofthousands of kilometers, it obviously feels a lot of collapse, the sense of looseness isgetting stronger and stronger, the upper hurdle has a sense of looseness, the roll of thesame speed through the same curve becomes larger, and the body will have extra left andright swings over the pit or speed bump.
After driving more than 100,000 kilometers in New Jersey for 4 years, my tires hung up 5times, repaired tires twice, and changed tires three times.
The 11th generation Accord Hybrid went to Newark Airport to pick up relatives in themiddle of the night last month, because he didn't pay attention to the ground because hewas looking at the street signs, and the front wheel was bitten by a big pit on the road at aspeed of 70+km/h.
After years of bad roads, I probably understand; the United States is not only a countryof free speech, but also a country on wheels, no wonder even the road is sharp.
