Southern highways like 95 have blown out tires and oranges and you name it all over the place last I drove there. It is a state thing I guess. State plows plow the interstates? Maintenance of interstates are suppose to be done by the States. If states don't clean them Pete may be able to cut the funding they get to maintain them. IMO.
