Well-worn Intersections

[CapeCodder]

What are some well worn intersections near you? Near my location, MA 134's intersection with MA 28 used to have ruts in the right turn movements on both sides (right onto 28 and right onto 134) before being repaved last year. When I lived in St. Louis, there were some intersections that should've been fully rebuilt.

Mulberry and College (us 287) in Fort Collins. Whichever direction you're crossing this intersection, it's like going over a cattle guard it's so rutted.

Wouldn't it be badly 'rutted' because Tungsten Carbide tire studs are legal year round in Colorado?

It's the intersection of two of the busiest streets in town. Both streets get beat to all hell by trucks.

There's a small but vocal movement to make downtown (a few blocks away) a 'car-free zone' because of the trucks going through downtown, but it's not going to go anywhere.

The left lane here, which 99.9999999215% of traffic uses because it's the entrance to (K-254) I-135 and I-235.

Wisconsin outlawed the seasonal use of studded tires after about eight years of legality in the late 1970s due to the severe damage that they were doing to concrete (especially) paved streets and roads.  I still remember concrete paved Milwaukee area freeways (paved in the early-mid 1960s) that were like driving on cobblestones due to that.  Since then, wear damage is been amazingly reduced, with some textured concrete paving that was laid down in within the decade or so after that still 'singing' as one drives over it.  Wisconsin only allows studded tires on emergency vehicles and out-of-state vehicles just passing through on single trips.  Ditto all of the surrounding states.
