"This road is repaired as if it was not repaired......
Did you find that although the rural roads have been built, they are very narrow, generally only 3.5 meters wide, which leads to vehicles that can only drive in one direction on a road, and staggered driving can easily cause congestion.
So, since it can be repaired to 3.5 meters, why not repair more at the beginning?
Highway Transformation
Nowadays, China's economic development is rapid, especially in the rural areas, which can clearly see this change, and the rural areas that originally lived in poverty have reached the point of "eating well and dressing well".
In addition to the needs of life, the development of road construction is also relatively fast, as long as you enter the countryside, you will be faced with a cement road or asphalt road.
It can be said that the construction and improvement of rural areas today originated from the results of the urban economy driving the rural areas, but it is worth mentioning that compared with the cities, there is still a big gap in the rural areas.
But many people understand that despite the fact that there are roads such as cement today, the countryside used to be a living dirt road.
Young people may not have any impression of these, after all, they do not have this feeling when they live in this era of economic development.
However, the older generation was deeply touched by the development of rural roads, at that time, because of the underdevelopment of social economy, urban road construction was still going on, not to mention rural construction.
Therefore, based on this, the roads in the countryside are all dirt roads, and these roads are also developed by the rural people themselves.
In fact, even dirt roads are of great benefit to the villagers, especially those who live in mountainous areas, and it is better to have a road than no road at all.
At that time, the rural people did not want anything, they just thought that they would live well, and they did not have many ideas about road construction that needed to be changed.
However, it is important to understand that although there are dirt roads in the countryside, they can be very bad, especially in bad weather, such as rain or snow.
Once this kind of weather happens, it's embarrassing, and the road will only get more and more difficult, and the road surface will not subside because of the water accumulation, and it will remain in the mud, making the road muddy.
Every time the villagers go out, they choose to wear shoes such as boots, so why not build a road if it is so difficult?
In fact, building roads required a lot of money, and life was a big problem for the countryside at that time, let alone building roads, so the villagers had to be patient.
However, after the reform and opening up, rural construction began to gradually rise, and since 2003, the government has proposed a series of policies such as road construction.
This marked the transformation of the countryside from muddy dirt roads to concrete roads, and it was precisely because of this that the slogan "If you want to get rich, build roads first" arose.
However, at that time, the cement roads were all built by hand, and the construction time was very long, but compared with the dirt roads, it brought many benefits to people's lives.
Moreover, the cement road consumes very low capital and simple materials, so it is not much affected by the rural areas under construction.
Although cement roads became the standard in rural areas, they were still relatively small in rural areas at that time, and they were not popularized.
The national economy drives the development of towns and villages, and this sentence is not without roads, in this case, the rural areas have also begun to get rid of poverty and become rich.
With affluence, some villages have begun to no longer be limited to cement roads, and have turned roads into asphalt roads, of course, there are also a small number, and the vast majority of them are cement roads.
Until now, cement roads have basically been opened in rural areas, but strangely, even if they have been built today, there is still a phenomenon of vehicle congestion.
Problems that arise
Since the cement roads in the countryside can be built, it is necessary to correspond to the next plan, "rich roads".
How rich a village is, the first thing to look at is not the building of the houses, but the number of roads built.
For example, if a rural village, whether it is a street or a road leading to the city, is a concrete road, it means that the village is rich and rich.
After understanding these things, it is clear to look at the architecture of the countryside at a glance.
In any case, it is a blessing that the countryside can develop rapidly, and because of this, if you are in the countryside, you can find that basically every household in the village has a car.
For these, many people may be accustomed to it, after all, people's living standards are not several times higher than before, and it is not uncommon for a family to have a car.
But when vehicles pass through rural roads, there is a problem that causes congestion.
Of course, in addition to the problem of too many vehicles, this also comes from the narrow roads.
Generally speaking, roads are now divided into high-speed and class 1 to 4, while rural roads are class 4, in other words, the 3.5-meter standard.
This width is already very short in people's minds, and it should be that the rural roads are narrow.
If a car is driving on a rural cement road, you will find that the width of a car will account for more than half of the rural cement road.
What does more than half mean? It means that the rural cement road simply cannot accommodate many vehicles, and if it is said that driving in the same direction causes traffic jams, there is no problem, and it is a big deal to wait for a while.
Don't forget, rural cement roads are different from urban roads, at least most of the urban roads are two-way passages, but rural cement roads are not like this.
It only has a single lane, which means that if two cars are driving in opposite directions, it will be a matter of width alone, which will cause congestion.
After this happens, the old driver is fine, if it is a novice driver, it is easy to test the driving skills, and if necessary, there will be a situation of giving way to the car.
At the same time, traffic congestion in rural areas is usually rare, except during festivals or Spring Festival travel.
In this case, accidents are likely to occur, after all, the width of the countryside is very low, and there are no safety railings on both sides, so that in the case of giving way to vehicles, the vehicles fall into the field because of excessive attention to vehicle contact.
So, since there are so many problems, why can't we build more cement roads?
Cause-effect
In fact, when people build a 3.5-meter-wide cement road, they don't think so far ahead, and for rural people, 3.5 meters is not too narrow, it can be said to be just right.
After all, at that time, vehicles were not widely available, and people either rode bicycles or motorcycles, and there were very few vehicles like them.
Therefore, in their eyes, the road is to be used first and repaired first, so as to bring a faster and more convenient environment to the countryside.
Of course, but after all, 3.5 meters is a standard, and this alone is enough for rural areas.
But then again, since the rural cement road is so narrow, why not re-widen it?
In fact, this idea has been realized in some rural areas, and it is precisely because of the narrow roads that they began to expand by one or two meters.
But after all, there are a few rural areas, and the vast majority of rural areas are still 3.5 meters, which may be related to several aspects.
The first is money, we all know that if you want to build a road, you must have money, if you don't have money, then sorry, the road can't be built.
Therefore, the people who build the road are very well funded, so where does this money come from?
This requires the township to apply to the government, and then the funds can be issued to repair the road, but if these funds are not enough, the village needs to raise funds out of their own pockets.
So, this raises the question, who will go to the funds for building roads, which is obviously not realistic for people today, after all, it involves personal problems.
In addition to funding, there is also the possibility of occupying land.
If you want to build more roads, you may occupy the farmers' fields, which will also involve personal interests.
At the same time, there are very few vehicles in the countryside themselves, and if they are widened, they may not be of any use, and it is easy to cause the invisible flow of funds.
In short, at least for now, it is still a bit difficult to widen a little, but hopefully these problems will be solved in the future.
Author's point of view
Rural roads are already muddy, but through reform and development, they have been smoothly transformed into concrete and other roads, which has made it more convenient for people to travel.
However, the problem of narrowness does need to be solved today, but there are many factors that need to be considered, so it is necessary to think twice.
