Government to slash funding for toll-free expressway plan

We are all distrubed by the government's decision to cut budget in this manner. In the U.S and some European countries, the toll-free expressway system have been in place since a long time ago. Some Japanese people are agaist the idea as land prices are high, and it also means that freeways are just as expensive to build. truth is, it could actually be chaeper.


Unfortunately, unexamined plans for the construction of expressways had been given silent approval by the government. Diet members were trying to persuade local voters and get the public project. They belived that the construction ofthe highway should be given priority.


A lot of unnecessary expressways were built, expecially where Diet members lived. So I'm angry because only Diet members are able to choose the locations where expressways are to be constructed.
