Consider this a "universal call to post-iness."
We like talking about roads. And if you joined this forum, we'd bet that you like to as well. So, we want to see more contributions from ALL MEMBERS (although I admit that this is specifically targeted towards the many members with zero posts).
Everyone wants to hear your viewpoint. We want to know what roads or features of roads or anything road related that you like. And to do this, we want you to POST! It's fun to have interesting conversations and debates.
So, come on, why don't you type up something thoughtful and click that "post" button. We want to hear from you. Give it a shot!
Question:
Why does Arkansas spend $9 Million to fix 30year old bridges that are not structurally deficient, but won't properly fix a road that washes away every Spring?
^ Why don't you start a thread about it in the south east roads section? ;-)
The United States is a country with over 300,000,000 people. I guess there are like 400 members here, so there are still 299,999,600 potential people who might be interested in roads! (and thus in this forum). Maybe it needs some advertising, but it also takes a while before forums get picked up by search indexers like Google.

AARoads itself is advertised in Google so everything on its server is too.
Had no idea!

Not just the US though... Maybe some more international members?
EDIT - Google would do that nicely.

I don't think "AA Roads Forum" is a common searchphrase though... I think it's more important the forum is also displayed when you search for "I-70" or "Interstate 17" or "Freeway".
Glad that we're back together.
Be well,
Bryant
Yeah me too! :)
Hope it works out very well, AAroads is still the roadgeek flagship on the internet!
It's good to be back in business again!
I'm confused now :-/
Does this mean anything posted at roadforums.com won't appear on here?
Yes, that forum is not associated with the AARoads forum. Your posts there will have to be reposted here.
Yay! We're back! :D
Thanks to all who made this possible!
It's good to be back!
Yeah, welcome back. Hopefully no more drama...

The vast majority of Americans have no idea what the difference is between an Interstate Highway, a US Highway, or a State Highway. It makes me wish we had A-, B-, C-... sometimes!
"I was driving down Interstate 75..."
"you mean US 75"
"but its a freeway"
"well, some US highways are freeways"
**crickets**
I'd hope perhaps 1,000,000 would be into roads but that might be overreaching a bit. :)

I hear "I-75" up here, when US 75 peters out to an expressway at 96th Street N and has a TRAFFIC LIGHT just south of the Creek Turnpike. The freeway section of US 75 is only 23 miles long.

You should look all confused and say "Wait, I have to go through Knoxville? You didn't say anything about THAT..."

Along US 67 north of Little Rock, people call it "The Interstate", thougn NOT "Interstate 67" (thank goodness)
In North Little Rock, US 67 is also referred to as the "Jacksonville Freeway".
