Sure. I'm in the US. Iowa's DOT has constantly reevaluated the use of roads as land-use and rural residences change. Bridges de-commissioned; road maintenance turned to 'class B' which means no maintenance. In fact they recently re-committed their budget 100% to maintenance and 0% to new roads. Mostly because global weather instability has been really rough on our huge, vulnerable road network. Agriculture is important to us; every field has to have access to roads and markets.



That's great, but it puts Iowa in a tiny class of rational D's of T. Most governments find roads, streets, and parking to be obviously desirable.
