MODERATORS
There's an economic trade-off for everything. It's not that we can't have it happen, but roads like the Hume Highway and Pacific Highway will need to be completely redone with a widespread flattening of the road, gentler corners, constant surveillance of kangaroos and wombats on the road and a massive road maintenance workforce who can rapidly fix entire sections of the road.
This will require raising taxes or diverting funds, not worth it, especially when you have a road network that is at least 10 times the size of Germany, and with a quarter of the population.
Agree with the economic points.
Yes wombats etc would not be able to reach autobahns in most cases.
Germany is incredibly dense with roads and I'd say would have more paved highway KMs than Australia.
Thing is with the unpaved stuff in Aus you can often already do your 130+ cos nobody is around.
