Michael Smith+FollowWhy Are Cleveland Roads So Bad?Just got back from Europe and wow, their roads are next-level smooth—no potholes in sight! Meanwhile, Cleveland streets are like driving through a war zone. Turns out, European cities build roads to actually last, with deeper foundations and better materials. Here, we just patch things up and call it a day. Maybe it’s time we steal a page from Berlin and Munich and fix our roads for real? Imagine roller-skating down Euclid Ave without dodging craters! #Cleveland #Potholes #Infrastructure #RoadTrip #UrbanLife #Transportation6829Share
Brandon Barrera+FollowDrones: Europe’s New Infrastructure Guardians?Nokia and Nvidia are teaming up with defence giants to supercharge Europe’s critical infrastructure using advanced drones equipped with laser and radar sensors. With drone warfare reshaping global security, do you think this tech-first approach will actually make power grids and ports safer—or just open new vulnerabilities? Would you trust drones to protect your city’s lifelines? Let’s debate! #TechDebate #DroneSecurity #Infrastructure #Tech60Share
umccall+FollowNorthland’s Big Road Glow-Up!The Northland Expressway is finally happening, and it’s set to totally change the game for Northland! Think: a four-lane highway connecting Te Hana to Whangārei, smoother trips, fewer bottlenecks, and way safer roads. The Brynderwyn Hills (aka the worst traffic nightmare) are getting a major fix, too. This isn’t just about faster drives—Northland’s about to get a huge boost in jobs, tourism, and business. The future’s looking bright (and way less bumpy) up north! #NorthlandExpressway #NZTransport #RoadTripReady #RegionalGrowth #Infrastructure #Transportation00Share
Peter Castillo+FollowWhy Are Our Roads Still So Deadly?Nearly 40,000 people died on US roads in 2024—and most of those crashes were totally preventable. The wild part? We already have the tech to spot dangerous spots before tragedy strikes (think smart traffic signals and AI that flags risky intersections). States like Washington and North Carolina are using this data to fix problems before someone gets hurt. Imagine if every city did this! Time to stop treating road deaths as "just the cost of driving." #RoadSafety #SmartCities #VisionZero #Infrastructure #TechForGood #Transportation1559Share
Kevin Nicholson+FollowPeru’s Andes Getting a Major Highway Glow-UpBig news for Peru’s Áncash region: the Conchucos Longitudinal Highway is getting a massive upgrade! This 226km project will connect five provinces, making travel way faster and safer. Think: less time on the road, lower costs for local businesses, and even smart traffic tech. Plus, it’s all happening through a public-private partnership, so expect some serious investment and long-term benefits. Locals are getting a say, too—environmental and social impacts are being studied. Could this be the start of a new era for the Andes? #Peru #Infrastructure #Andes #RoadTrip #CommunityGrowth #Transportation80Share
Michael Smith+FollowCrete’s Epic Road Glow-Up Begins!Crete’s finally getting the road upgrade it deserves! The island just kicked off its biggest-ever road project—a 157km superhighway linking Iraklio and Hania. Expect 43 interchanges, 23 tunnels, and a ton of bridges (seriously, 89!). Travel times will drop by nearly 40%, making it way easier for locals and tourists to zip around. Plus, there’s a big focus on safety and eco-friendly features. Could this be the start of a whole new era for Crete? #Crete #TravelNews #RoadTrip #Infrastructure #Greece #Transportation70Share
Joe Gallagher+FollowAre Our Roads Actually Getting Better?Turns out, America’s roads are slowly leveling up! Since 2000, the share of roads in good shape jumped by almost 10%, now sitting at 55.2%. But here’s the twist: while more roads are in great condition, the percentage in poor shape actually crept up a bit too. The biggest drop? Roads that were just ‘meh’—the fair ones. Basically, our streets are either getting fixed up or falling apart, with not much in between! #RoadTrip #Infrastructure #USNews #RoadConditions #Transportation00Share
Arthur Booker+FollowDid You Know Your Traffic Light Runs on Old Code?Ever thought about how many things keep our daily lives running smoothly? From water plants to traffic lights to hospitals, there’s a whole web of behind-the-scenes tech that’s surprisingly fragile. For example, most hospital software is built on open-source code—almost half of which has known security holes! Plus, a third of hospitals are already struggling to stay open. Makes you wonder what’s really keeping the lights on (literally and figuratively). #LifeHacks #MoneyMatters #TechTalk #Infrastructure #EverydayRisks #Business01Share
Peter Castillo+FollowHighways Are Getting Smarter—LiterallyDid you know highways are basically talking to us now? Sensors, drones, and AI are transforming road maintenance from a game of whack-a-mole to a high-tech, proactive operation. Roads can now report their own cracks, and algorithms tell crews where to fix things before drivers even notice. From digital twins to robot pothole fillers, the future of smooth rides is here—and it’s way geekier than you’d think. Next time you dodge a pothole, thank the data! #SmartRoads #AI #Infrastructure #TechInnovation #FutureOfTransport #Transportation51Share
Michael Smith+FollowKenya’s $3.5B Road to the FutureKenya’s going all-in on a $3.5 billion expressway between Nairobi and Mombasa, and it’s not just about faster road trips (think: 12 hours down to 4.5!). This mega-project is mixing local and global cash, aiming to supercharge trade, jobs, and even green tech. Plus, it’s all happening under a public-private partnership, so investors and communities both get a piece of the action. The expressway is set to be a total game-changer for East Africa! #Kenya #Infrastructure #EastAfrica #Investment #UsahihiExpressway #GreenGrowth #Transportation90Share
