Just back from 5 days in Derbyshire, can't believe how good their roads are, virtually no potholes and smooth surface, back to Glos/Wilts van was bouncing around all over the place as usual, so top marks to Derbyshire Highways

I have travelled in British Columbia in Canada, Most of the main routes are properly laid asphalt, But there must be thousands of miles of dirt and chipping tracks which are recognised roads not just forest tracks.
They are very dusty in Summer, and they do produce a lot of tyre noise. But there're often quite derivable up to 60MPH. unless your in a convoy when lower speeds will help to reduce stone kick up. Twin Wheeled lorries are the big ones for throwing up stones even at lower speeds, and many cars and pickups do have chipped or cracked windows. But they don't seem to change them until they actually shatter.
