Lol morons.
Acting like you've never drivin on a gravel or oil top road before.
Those are plentiful in Texas and it ain't hurting anyone. Besides most folks drive trucks down here anyway.
Don't knock it till you try it, especially if you don't live here!
Only thing bad about gravel roads is small rocks cracking your windshield. Other than that it's no big deal...
Quit making mountains out of mole hills.

The US is still more productive with it's shitty infrastructure.
You'd have to be a complete nutter to try to emulate places like China, much less any economy of Europe.
Europe and China have great infrastructure, while the US reverts to gravel roads.

I'll worry about it when the 610 Loop is turned to gravel, until then a few FM roads laid with gravel isn't going to hurt anyone.
Christ, they can't be any worse than some of the paved roads in New Mexico...
Everything goes to hell under the GOP- except the rich's wealth...

Texas begins replacing paved roads with gravel due to lack of funding | The Raw Story
The oil and gas boom in Texas has produced an unintended effect: The state plans to covert some roads to gravel to save money.
The oversized vehicles and overweight loads used by energy companies has had a devastating impact on many roads, but the state has not appropriated enough money to fix them.
The Texas Department of Transportation began converting more than 80 miles of paved roads to gravel on Monday, according to the Texas Tribune. The speed limit on the new gravel roads will be reduced to 30 mph.
Texas lawmakers approved $225 million for the repair of roadways and bridges within the state highway system this year. Texas lawmakers also approved a ballot measure that would provide $1.2 billion a year for state transportation projects. If approved by voters in 2014, the measure would divert money from the states rainy day fund to the state highway fund.
