Our "grid" roads only got gravelled a few decades ago, to help keep them passable in the springtime, but even our paved roads sometimes show deep tire tracks when it is time to move some grain. Before the gravel, they were more often extremely smooth after grading, and didn't develop a washboard surface from hard braking and acceleration with the old trucks. However, there are sometimes stretches that are as smooth as any pavement, as well as miles of all bumps. This province has the most miles of road per capita in North America, and we still can't drive to the northern border. The road don't end in Katmandu, but it does in Patuanak, Sandy Lake, and the Key Lake Mine, among other long cul-de-sacs.
