The end result is that the former highways have relatively high use by vehicles that are doing nothing but passing through, so when it snows for instance, that busy former highway needs a much higher level of service because of the higher volume of traffic. All the locals see is that their roads are snow-covered while the roads for those just passing through our very well-maintained.
