Why are US hwy so noisy???

ACC-HE

Have you noticed the hwy in the US are much more noisy than ours?

I like those shiny reflector stones, I think we should have those as well since the road visibility in the rain is not very good, but wouldn't they interfere with snow plows?

Yes US highway is much noisy than Cdn ones. But since the huge construction on I5, the newer segment is much more quiet now.

Bro Lik beats me to it... cost reason, therefore some roads are built better than others.

concrete doesn't need to be repaved as often as asphalt so the operating cost will be lower in a long run.
