How many of you have seen how crappy many of our freeway embankments look? The grass looks like it came loose, and is eroding downhill... makes for a damn sloppy look throughout the metro area... but especially those locations [[such as Detroit) where most freeways are sunken.

Usually the culprit is those freeway grass mowers that go up along the embankement after a heavy rain... and the weight of the mower pulls the grass out by the roots... thus leaving a look of "erosion" behind. It's ugly... and yet we still do it year after year.

I just came across these machines used by German roadway workers. If Americans can put a man on the moon, why can't we properly maintain our freeways and roadways??
