yea well, here in Quebec, asphalt is about 40% less thicker than in other provinces
Because of that, road are... well... shitty shit...
I mean, we do need thicker road because we have harder winter
However, it's because of budget restriction that we have it thinner
Which makes zero sense because we need to redo it every year
While if we made it 40% thicker once, we wouldn't have to redo it for like 2-3 years, which would make the government save money, am i right?
It might work that way; I am not a civil engineer, rather uncivil as the case may be, though I did once spend a wonderful morning playing on an American asphalt company's mini digger/shovel thing trying to induce a leak (they all thought it hilarious as I was in a bowler hat so everybody won that day).

Two main possibilities.
The people running the thing don't want to be the ones that increase the expenditure even for long term, worse still if these are politicians that are elected every year. It might also be if it was thicker then that would need a full redoing of the roads where effectively patching/surfacing it every year is cheaper*.
Some filthy accountant got in the mix somewhere. If you do something annually it becomes an expense where every 3 years might make it some flavour of asset and need according depreciation schedules.

*naturally also friend of the politician is the one running the company that does it.
