People litter everywhere. Yes, fines should be issued and enforced.
PENNDOT doesn't pick it up. That's the difference.
Like I said. Every time I'm in Maryland I see high way crews working on the side of the road. It's the VERY rare exception here. And when I do see them, it honestly looks like the guys doing the work don't give a sh*t about how well they're doing their jobs. When I see the equivalent people doing their work in NJ, I swear to god I get the impression they're the kind of people who like hedge their lawn with hand scissors. The work is important and I'm sure there are people who be'd more than willing to do it.
Further, much of the debris you see on the highway isn't "litter" per se but car parts that come off either by themselves or in accidents. Things that fall off the backs of trucks, etc. Much of the gunk is just left over sand and salt from the previous winter that never gets swept and ultimately grows that rare Philadelphia fauna that you find only in places that never clean their streets: Curb Weed.
