I was surprised that the roads in ARK were so nice.
It reminded me that TX is a 3rd word country, road-wise.
If Texas is third world Oklahoma is prehistoric.

Wasn’t always nice. I remember when a bed of gravel was laid down, sprayed with hot oil, and covered with more gravel.
Within a year the roads would begin to break up. You soon remembered where each pot hole was and dodge them with your truck, often it was miles of potholes with a little paving between holes.
As for Texas roads, back in the 1960s Texas roads were great to drive on. You could tell the difference when you left New Mexico and went into Texas.
