We should always strive for improvements but sometimes we have to stop and realize how good the roads and infrastructure is here.
As far as the number 1 from the 60's, it looks good and well maintained. The roads in third world countries are much worse then that, trust me.

Same can be said about the Philippines... I've been here for the past few days, and I'm telling you, long stretches of highway with no left turn lanes whatsoever, mediocre traffic lights that people ignore at light, posts in the middle of lanes in some places...
