The point is in this state shoulder cleaning is not seen as more important that other aspects of the budget- and its also very possible that other states have better funding for their transportation systems. Having major roadways being tolled is a huge advantage because it means state tax dollars are not needed to maintain that tolled ROW and thus you have more money to spend on the "free" highways.

You think because "they" say it its true it is true? Where's the audit? Why do we almost never see street cleaners but they somehow spend millions of dollars on them. When there is smoke there's fire.
They don't maintain the highways they say they do. Period.
I'm watching these PennDot employees work on the "improvements" under 95 every single day. Literally people are walking around these jobs sites 8 hours a day past trash laying all over the place and no one is inclined to pick it up to put it on the dumpsters on site? Where's the foreman or site superintendent? Shouldn't there be an expectation that every day you leave the site and it's clean?
Sometimes you just need to set a standard in order to see something through. There are no standards. Very few expectations. You can go to work every day and do your 'job' easily when literally nothing is required and there are no set expectations. I'm sure they're spending all that money they say they're spending. Who knows on what because I see hours and hours a day wasted on people literally standing around. Wouldn't be so difficult to just say, hey guys, one of you has to walk the perimeter of this job and make sure its spotless.
You're laughable.
