This is waaaaay to simple of a depiction of modern roads. Modern infrastructure is super complex, with roads going down meters with many different layers and components.
I would recommend the Practical Engineering YouTube channel to get some insight in how complex our modern infrastructure actually is. Things that seem so simple on the surface are often really complex.
Also: roads aren’t designed for cars, they are designed for super heavy big vehicles carrying tons of materials. If the road can handle those, the cars don’t really matter all that much.
Practical Engineering is a great channel for anyone even slightly curious about civil engineering! Grady does a great job at making infrastructure perfectly accessible
Back when trader squids roamed the planet
I’d shop at a store named Trader Squids, that sounds awesome
What I want to know is did the squids use the chalk roads or did the squids become the chalk roads.
It is said that eons ago, a wise and benevolent squid elder named Ozymandias possessed the power to manipulate the very essence of chalk.
When the squid community faced a perilous migration across treacherous terrains, Ozymandias would emerge from the depths and lay down chalk roads, imbued with his magical ink, to guide his fellow squids safely to their destination. These chalk roads glowed with an ethereal blue light, illuminating the darkest depths of the ocean.
As time passed, the squids would harness the power of Ozymandias’ magical ink to transform themselves temporarily into living chalk roads. By intertwining their arms and tentacles, they would create a network of living paths on the ocean floor, allowing other marine creatures to traverse great distances with ease.
🏅 here’s my gold
great story!

I guess many roads are hundreds, if not thousands of years old. There are not many reasons to change the position of an established road, e.g. between cities, so I think the main roads that connect them often started as trails between villages and where upgraded according to the needs of the people. The junction in your city next to your city hall may have been an important trading spot before the middle ages already.
The next road is room temp. superconductor and we levitate thru the road by Meissner effect.
You can find your way home, on the 303
You can let somebody know, on the 303
Oh on the 303
I had to look up this road, it goes right by Stonehenge in England. Absolutely wild.
I mean some road had to be near Stonehenge. Just like theres a nearest road to the Pyramids or the Eiffle Tower or the grand canyon.
Yeah I used to live near stonehenge and the 303 has a local reputation for being absurdly busy at the roundabout near stonehenge, especially during the summer solstice.
What’s that in the future? Silicon?
Metal rails
They’re burying it, so… air, then the top of a tunnel.
High tech Japanese superconducting MAGLEV trains (someday).
Most likely Chinese.
Charred bones.
Next step is going to be chalk again when the cephalopods join the orcas in spreading Poseidon’s wrath.
This is really cool! Which museum/where is something like this?

If you bring your own shovel it’s a lot of roads over here in the UK
